I missed breaking two paragraphs up into lines: A long time ago, big computers made from transistors were pipelined, such as the IBM 7094 II or the SDS 9300. What this meant was basically the same thing as you might do when doing laundry - while one load of clothes is in the washer, the previous load is in the dryer. The Pentium 4 was an attempt to make a computer chip go faster by making a bigger fraction of its transistors work at any one time. That made it run hotter. While one might think that since transistors didn't start getting _worse_ as feature size got smaller, if it worked at one feature size, the design should have still worked in later processes as well...
