the next in line of Intel Chips

[xerocool]

does anyone know what the upcoming months will bring for Intel chips? Or are we stuck with the overpriced P4EE while they make a 64 bit processor?

prescott is comin' out in february...

2.8 to 3.4

i hear that intel will continue to market the p4ee as their top chip though...

lots of rumors going aorund that the C's are better than the new E's

Prescott should be released Monday.

no official benchmarks yet but let me grab you the two links or so that i've seen






http://oc.com.tw/article/0309/readgoodarticle.asp?id=1974 in english
http://www.pconline.com.cn/pchardware/tpylab/cpu/0401/298500.html in chinese
http://www.ocheaven.com/article/0310/readgoodarticle.asp?id=26 these people claim to be the first with prescott benchmarks

Prescott 2.8GHz Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz
CPUmark 99 190 156
3DMark 2001 SE 14258 15742
PCMark 2002 Pro 5813 6935



this is some benchmark info i grabbed from that last link
I think newer benchmarks, media, encoding/decoding of any kind, and anything that benefits from sse3 or larger L2 cache would be more benefitted by the prescott
but it is clear that the northwood has a higher ipc, but the good news is it isn't nearly as large a difference as the P3 to P4 move

Soulkeeper, did you really include a link to an article in CHINESE?

 

[Geomagick]

well it certainly ain't english!

Bit difficult to tell unless you can read the lingo.

I'm replacing my 2.4c with a 3.2e the second week of Feb (earliest I could get one)
I'll post results then.
I'm putting it in a water cooled system hoping for 4GHz.
