Today Intel officially announced the migration of desktop 90nm Intel Pentium 4 processors with 1MB L2 cache (Prescott) from C-0 to D-0 revision.

According to the publication, the first Pentium 4 Prescott D-0 samples should arrive on February 27, while all qualification tests are to end on April 23. The first quantities are expected in retail on May 7, 2004.

The reason of this migration to D-0 revision is the planned energy consumption optimization.

They probably added more layers like AMD did with the .13 athlons to reduce heat.

I guess the new chipsets will be out then, so if I can just hold off = new mobo, new chip, pci express vid card, guess I'll keep the inexpensive, third of a terabyte ATA133 drives I've accumulated...

pci express will be available in may??

 

[Soulkeeper]

yeah but this revision will only be available in the new socket, and not 478, right ??
i bet they will lower the voltage to atleast 1.3v maybe lower

PCI Express in April according to this article:
SiS offers DDR2-800, PCI Express and no AGP in 2004

I forgot, I'll need DDR-2 as well...

It appears to me, the D0 revision will be a 478, if I'm interpreting the PCN correctly.

In the PCN's fine print: "D-0 is pin compatible with C-0"

Unless I'm missing something...

Here's the PCN LINK.

apparently most the boards will support both ddr-1 and ddr-2
so that shouldn't be too bad
but yur still gonna have to buy atleast half a computer (motherboard + cpu)
