533 Bus P4 Seem To Be Out Now

[Bozo Galora]

One vendor I have used in the past sent me a blurb today in email that 533 P4 @2.4 and 2.26 are now
available, I went thru shop cart and it stuck.

no bargain as you would guess @$598 and $469 full retail box

this posted just for general info

Price drops next month, the 2.26 should be in the 230 to 250 range.

Are the 533 bus P4's going to be the newer version that has a 10% shrink in the size of the core ?

my question would be, since these are obviously new stepping, are they even better at overclocking
than 400bus

 

[CTho9305]

are they actually a new stepping, or just a lower multiplier?

I know someone who has a 2.4 533 right now but I'm sworn to secrecy

Yeah, thats a good question, now that I think about it.

Why can't current motherboards run the 133MHz P4s? Almost all of the current motherboards can run at 133MHz with all of the other settings in spec. Or, can they actually run the newer CPUs, but Intel just wont say they're officially supported so they can sell more mobos?
