Pentium 4 2.8GHz

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the need-for-speed dept.

DigitaBiscuit writes "The new 2.8GHz Pentium 4 has been officially launched by Intel today. Sporting a 533MHz System Bus, this new P4 looks to put the hurt on AMD's new Athlon XP 2600+. Benchmarks and a full review with performance versus AMD's new chip, can be found here." The NDAs must be expiring today, since we already have another review submitted as well.

  1. Let's all work on the REAL bottlenecks... by teamhasnoi · · Score: 5, Funny
    Like Disk access, and video, and whatever else keeps me waiting for things to happen.

    I'm sorry (not), but I should NEVER have to wait for anything. Not with a P4 2.x Mirkwood. Or AMD 2xxx+ GTZ. I want instant reaction like Beos had. On my pentium 225. Click, Click. Off I go.

    Hard drives are fast(?) and cheap, but still saddled with the bloat code that gets written for this new stuff.

    OT, but I would like to see an office suite written by John Carmack. That would rule. Misspelled words would have 3d blood dripping out of them, and fast, fast, fast.

    Ok. Time for sleem.p
