Intel Releases "Fastest Chip Ever"

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cpu-cycles-to-spare dept.

mao che minh writes "From News Factor Network: Intel has released the world's fastest chip ever. The new P4 runs at 3.06GHz, at 3 billion cycles per second. Man, and I'm still squeezing the last bit of life out of my Pentium 233!" Tom's Hardware already has a review up about it, and it looks to live up to most of the hype.

    AMD will have a chip that runs faster and cheaper at half the clock speed.

    From the company that brought you:
    • The Little Endian Instruction Set
    • The 386, no wait, the 386SX, no wait, the 386DX
    • The 486 with the coprocessor cut out with a Laser
    • The Indivisible Pentium
    • The Celeron that outruns the PIII
    The worlds fastest... okay, highest clock speed, chip.
