NEWEGG.COM has it listed but of course not in stock.

<< CPU P4 1.80G 400MHZ 256K SOCW OEM >>



Does SOCW stand for Socket W?

Must be a typo. I thought the only socket change will be coming with the introduction of the Northwoods and the shrink to .13micron technology...Maybe the W is code for Willamette...

$582 bones? WOW! Maybe this is legit! or an overpriced overclocked part...

actually FKloster there was an article in a thread yesterday that linked an article that said that is where this 1.8 would price at...with the 2.0ghz to follow shortly and come in at that price...


EDIT: Here is the link to the article dated 6/22/01 http://www.theinquirer.net/22060105.htm

Shouldn't be long before those .13 P4 parts start hitting the channels.

The P4 was held to 1.7gHz because Intel deemed the power draw to be more than acceptable for the tolerances they were aiming at. The .13 parts will drop the power draw of the P4 quite alot plus it adds in new features not found on the current P4.

I find it strange that manufactures have not even announced their socket 478 offerings yet... its almost July...
