Tom's Hardware says 3.4E Prescotts are D0 stepping Prescotts.

If this is the truth, the results of the power savings and heat reductions look dismal.

You guys just wait. In about a year or less, all of the newbies will be asking "Was there really a problem with the Prescott's when they first came out?" I remember quite well how much the P4's were made fun of when they first arrived. It was funny, actually, how a 1.13 ghz PIII would destroy a 1.4ghz P4 in every benchmark. But, now that they've had time to mature, I don't see anyone complaining about them, especially the people with a 2.4C running at 3.6ghz at a 300mhz fsb!

redpriest/ I agree, but wouldn't take what Tom says as gospel, he tends to get a bit over Zealous if you will. myocardia, have you ever owned a prescott? From what i have seen you post, you must have? There is Nothing wrong with a Prescott chip, other than they run hotter than a Northwood, they do per say OC better than most Northys, I would like to hear of your expierience with 1.

I'd agree if it was just Tom's Hardware, but I just got confirmation from Ace's Hardware as well.

Redpriest I believe I read that on the site as well while lookign for CeBIT stuff and from I understood it was that Intel was planning to move from a C0 to D0 in order to help with prescott's heat or something along those lines.

Here is Intel's stepping's page As you can see Tom's is wrong again. It clearly shows that the 3.4E at the top of the page, is a C0 stepping.

i was reading some of the newegg postings and some people have been claiming they received D0 steppings for about 2 weeks now
