Does anyone have word, either from Comdex or where ever, on the new Pentiums? Going to be a higher more powerful p4 or move to a p5 or some other goofy name? 800 MHz FSB?

If anyone has word or speculation, post it here.

Thanks,

-Steve

Due for release at 3.2GHz in the second quarter of next year, the chip will feature 1MB of Level 2 on-die cache?twice as much memory as current Pentium 4s have. Larger on-die caches improve a chip's performance by reducing the time it needs to access memory.

Along with Prescott's release, Intel will introduce a chip set, code-named Springdale, which will feature a 333MHz, dual-channel, double-data-rate synchronous dynamic RAM memory controller and will support Prescott's 667MHz front-side bus speed.

Thought this was intresting as part of it. I am sure there might be more info though if anyone knows or have talked with people about it.
