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.

    The only reason I will upgrade is because I need Gentoo to compile faster...

    Does Joe Sixpack really have a six-pack?

    I've lost a bit of weight so far but I'm far from the six-pack stage. Do I loose my geekiness once I have a siz pack?

    I'll probably be throwing most of my karma away on this question but hey half the fun is trying to gain it in the first place.
