New Pentium 5 Details - 5-7ghz?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the redundant-naming-schemes dept.

zymano writes "This article gives some details on Pentium 5. It will have 64 bit extensions and maybe a 4000 mhz frontside bus. Quote from the article,'The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design. '"

    Pentium 5, isn't that redundant? Maybe it'll be the Pentium^2.

    Some blurry details, no dates, and then the master stroke of "Windows will support it"... even quoting the name of a future, yet-to-be-written Microsoft extension.

    Yes... the "source claims so"...

    This seems to be only an stealth Intel move in order to discourage everybody from going on with AMD's already-available 64 bit offer, until they have some real reasonably priced 64 bit technology to sell.
