Intel Pushes Pentium 4 Past 3 GHz

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the seems-like-only-yesterday dept.

    Nice, you gotta love the way Intel has been ramping up, I only hope we dont see a 1.13 PIII repeat :(

    .. the new P4 who will run at nothing less than 3.06mhz.
    Wow... more than 3 millihertz! That is an achievement. It's almost 8000 times slower than my old 486SX.

    [sarcasm] I mean, it's not even an incremental improvement. It's a decrease in speed by an order of 1000. How is this supposed to improve upon current processors? I don't know. But I do know that I will not be lining up for a processor that is outdated by about 12 years. [/sarcasm]

    so are you going to be upgrading to this THREE POINT O SIX MILLIHERTZ processor then?
