Pentium 4 was a failure on many fronts.
Complexity, Power, Verification ( remember the FPU mistake that cost Intel $500 million??), heat.
The failure was the only reason they moved back to the earlier generation architechture <insert P6 here>, as it was a reliable beast capable of scaling up.
AMD caught up to Intel was a totally different thing. Intel had its own major issues to deal with :D

Pentium 4 was a failure? It was the best when it was released.
Intel just did not release anything better after that and AMD caught up.
The architecture had major power and heat issues, but it has nothing
to do with performance.
