Northwood and Brookdale: Request for updated information

"The reason for supporting the Socket-478 interface is because the next Pentium 4 core, codename Northwood, will be a Socket-478 only processor." - Intel Desktop CPU & Chipset Roadmap ? November 2000.

Since we are now in 2001, and approaching 2002, is there any other information on Northwood and/or the Brookdale chipset?

I ask because I wish to build my own computer system and would like to know if I should postpone doing so until Northwood and Brookdale are out on the market.

...

Thank you very much, MrPhd.
 
Northwood is likely to be a damned fine processor. Do a search through the CPU, GH and HT threads for info on it. It's smaller, cooler and 'may' have a lot of juicy stuff added. According to Intel's road map i don't think it's far away at all but i seem to remember a $500+ price tag

Brookdale isn't anything too special. It won't be the worst chipset on the planet but i doubt it will compare to AMDs better products ( i could be wrong of course). Brookdale is a consumer driven processor for the mass market

More interesting is the Via DDr chipset which will be debuting soon. It may offer good performance combined with DDR ram and cheaper motherboards. Also 850 prices will be dropping soon which may make Willamette a better option
 

For those who haven't noticed the disparatiy between Brookdale's release-date & the release-date(-ish) of Northwood.

Willamette is going to be "covering" for Northwood until its released in the Socket-478 format.

Just for those among you who wondered whether they'd have CPU's to put into their i845's 🙂.
 
here is the lastest Intel roadmap

...................................
August 2001
1.13GHz, 1.2GHz Pentium III - 0.13 micron Tualatin, 256KB L2, 133MHz FSB

Q3 2001
1.9GHz, 2GHz Pentium 4 - 0.18 micron, 256KB L2

November 2001
2GHz, 2.2GHz Pentium 4 - 0.13 micron Northwood

Q4 2001
950MHz Celeron - 0.18 micron Coppermine, 100MHz FSB

Q1 2002
1GHz Celeron - 0.18 micron Coppermine, 100MHz FSB

Q2 2002
2.4GHz Pentium 4 - 0.13 micron Northwood
1GHz+ Celeron - 0.13 micron Tualatin, 100MHz FSB

Stolen from a NFS4 thread 🙂

a 2.4GHz Northwood is likely to be some serious mojo
 
Good stuff. if Northwood performs as well as it looks I might actually have a choice to go non AMD this time. And looks like northwood will kick some serious arse 🙂
 
Just to let u know, according to the Inquirer, there's a Northwood sample floating around, and it has 512k L2 Cache, now wheather the report is true, well you can never know, but just thought I'd pass it along.
 
And, it seems like 2GHz P4 Williamette is coming very soon, like in a week. There's a discussion at X-bit labs saying that P4 2GHz is allready selling somewhere (Flaming is going on in that thread though).
