Pentium 4 EE

Intel's new Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (EE) is going to have a 2MB Level 3 Cache giving the new Pentium a 2.5MB full speed on-die cache. Amazing but how do you think that this will compete with the FX-51 because that is the competitor. I honestly do not think a huge leap in performance will occur. The big jump in my opinion is going to occur with the 90 nanometer process not enlarging the cache. Also Intel has decided not to jump onto the 64-bit bandwagon for a while because honestly the only applicable difference between 64/32 bit processing is going to occur in business/server usage not in your standard gaming wich already is 128-bit.

...except for the reminder that search is your friend! taking 5 seconds to type "p4ee" into search was the Right Thing To Do before creating this repost, to see the 3 existing (and long) threads on AvP4.
