Intel Pushes Pentium 4 Past 3 GHz

Yahoo has the news about the new P4 who will run at nothing less than 3.06mhz.
umm... I've got an XT clone that's faster than that... wanna buy it for about $600?
(/sarcasm)
...but the C64 still got better sound.
Yeah, but what's its top speed?
I'll be able to run Word really fast now.
Unreal Tournament 2003 just kicked my 1.0 GHz machine in the nuts and then made fun of me. If for no other reason, I'm glad to see this announcement, because I can expect a price drop on the 2.6 GHz and 2.8 GHz chips.
I have a 56k modem and the internet is soooo slow, will this make it faster? They said with the PIII it would but I didn't see much different.
Knock Knock!

Who's there?
15 second wait...
Intel

Does it at least have a turbo switch?
will it take for this artcle to be post a second time on /. Hmmmmm i give it a week,
> FOR 1975!!!
Jump back in time... even further
Mhz = mega herz
mhz = milli herz
Imagine a computer that's triggered every 11 minutes... with hyperthreading!
Wow. It might have stunned Charles Babbage...
Apparently you've never run tried to run IBM Websphere ;-)
This will totally change my life! It's the announcement that I'd been waiting for! I must rush out and purchase ten thousand of these immediately, if not sooner! And so on!
</sarcasm>, wouldn't it be simpler for Slashdot to just link to every product announcement from a major hardware manufacturer rather than go through the farce of picking one of the dozens of frenzied (and typo'd) submissions from the "f1rz7 5Ubm1z10n, 5uX0rz!" brigade?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
I'm personally going to build an octathreading CPU by tricking the OS into thinking it's working with EIGHT processors! Wow, that should give me 8x the performance! Stupid Intel restricting themselves to faking just two processors.
Beware: In C++, your friends can see your privates!
3.06milliHz ! Wow ! That means about ten clocks an hour ! With the super deep P4 pipeline (20 deep IIRC), it means it will push some 200 "single clock instruction" in just an hour. But beware of pipeline stalls. They better have a solid branch prediction algorithm.
The speed is for Clippy, not YOU... he now is 3D ray-traced and has more artificial intelligence built in!
If it wasn't for the idea of WYSIWYG and fonts, I'd still be doing my word processing on AppleWorks for the Apple ][.
Never hit your grandmother with a shovel, for it leaves a bad impression on her mind...

There's only one explanation to 2 typographical errors in the post.. sex..
Rob posting articles to be posted automatically, Kathleen wants Rob.. if you know what I mean.. Rob tries to rush.. well.. you get the idea..
Is this processor fast enough, that XP won't feel slow? I know that on 1.6GHz machines it feels like it needs a CPU twice as fast, which would be 3.2 GHz.
> are trivial to mod for dual CPU operation and easily overclock to 2.25GHz
Some of us need reliability and warranty. I'm not going to throw an overclocked, modded AMD POS in the server farm at work. If I do, I'm going to make sure my resume is updated and my suit is free from little white fuzzies.
I'm gonna go overclock my laundry machine now and cook a pizza in self cleaning clean mode in my oven. Should be done by the time the laundry dings.
I can surf the web faster or no?"
(someone actually asked me this in talking about the 2.2p4)
