Intel's P4 3GHz w/ 800MHz Bus & Canterwood Chips

Posted by Hemos on from the faster-and-faster-it-goes dept.

OldGrayDave writes "Intel steps out today with their new Pentium 4 3GHz chip that runs on an 800MHz System Bus. They've also released "Canterwood", the chipset chipset for the P4 that supports Dual Channel DDR400 memory, native Serial ATA 150, RAID 0, AGP8X, USB2.0 and a host of other bells and whistles. Check out this showcase and performance analysis at HotHardware, to see what all the buzz is about. Intel distances themselves again from the Athlon." Or, you can read more at Hardavenue, mbreview, Tom's Hardware, hardware unlimited, or The Tech Report. I dunno...hardware gets faster, bus gets faster. Tide goes in, tide goes out.

    Why would there be an app that would require a processor that doesn't exist?

    I don't know, ask Sun...they're the ones who invented Java. It's still waiting for the first batch of 10GHz CPUs to roll off the production line to be useful (drum roll/splash)

    Apple execs comment on the recent chipset from Intel, their fastest to date: "We at Apple feel that computing experience is more important than raw computing speed. Therfore, we have decided that 1.42GHz is fastest that G4 processors ever need to be. In fact, we think 1.42GHz is too fast. Therefore, we will be re-introducing our 600 and 700Mhz lines. Thank you."
