Intel Moves To 533MHz FSB
homerj79 writes: "Intel has launched an upgrade 850 chipset and faster Pentium 4's today. The new chipset, dubbed the 850E, supports a 533MHz (133MHz x 4) front side bus, as do the processors. Supporting processors come in speeds of 2.53, 2.4 and 2.26GHz. The 2.4GHz part is denoted as supporting the new FSB by a 'B' tagged to the end of it. And it appears as if the new chipset gives the P4 a performance boost in most apps over the previous 400MHz FSB chips and the Athlon XP." Meanwhile, back at the other processor ranch, firemoth writes: "Today OCAU has something special - They've gotten their hands on 3 AthlonXP
CPU's based on AMD's new "Thoroughbred" core. This is the .13 micron
process, of course, with lower voltage. This article compares them to the
older Palomino core in both speed and temperature.. and they throw one into a
Vapochill supercooling case and see just how fast it can go."

First Golem Post!
/.'ers and their never-ending quest for defending their RIGHT to own a BMW M3, their RIGHT to wear expensive name brand clothes, their RIGHT to spend $2000/mo on rent for a swanky bachelor pad in the valley. Fuck you, over-inflated IT geeks of the world.
Oh yeah, fuck all
Mr Cox,
Will the new Intel chips allow the dildo crammed up your crusty anus to vibrate faster?

for shizzle my nizzle see me ram a coke can up my ass!
Not nearly as fast as your mom can suck a hot load of jizz down her throat. Damn, she lines 'em up and sucks 'em down. Goddamned whore.
...in this computer chair?
what about this one?
AMD already seem to be falling behind in the clock speed race quite badly. I think it more likely that Intel will continue to pull away from AMD in clock speed.
And AMD have clearly shown that there is plenty of room for Intel to tweak their chips to run faster at the same clock rate.
I'd be very worried now if I was AMD
Sig is taking a break!
That's as fast as a new low-end mac's CPU.
