Intel Pushes Pentium 4 Past 3 GHz

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

denisbergeron writes "Yahoo has the news about the new P4 who will run at nothing less than 3.06 GHz. But the great avance will be the hyperthreading technology (already present in Xeon) that allows multiple software threads to run more efficiently on a single processor."

    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
    If running at 3.06 mhz is new news, they must have been working harder on a time machine than on a new chip...

    .. 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.

    Wow! That's super fast...

    FOR 1975!!!

    I don't know about you, but if Intel is selling 3.06mhz CPUs for a few hundred quid, I'm buying AMD. :)

    [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 But I do know that I will not be lining up for a processor that is outdated by about 12 years.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?
