Intel Prescott Released

Posted by Hemos on from the yet-another-CPU dept.

daemonslayer writes "The nondisclosure agreement on Intel's long awaited new Pentium 4, codenamed Prescott, has just been lifted. So can it beat its predecessor, the Northwood? Find out at Anandtech, Tom's Hardware, or any of the other thousand review sites." Or HotHardware, PC Magazine, XBitLabs, or HardOCP. Basically, looks like it's faster, but still not the fastest in all areas. Tide goes in, tide goes out.

    I'm no expert in this area at all, but by increasing the number of steps in the pipeline it may be a preliminary move to bring the Paladium/Longhorn/DRM into the chip level.

    Sorry, but you aimed the duck and shot the chicken.

    This has nothing to do with Palladium, rest assured...

    Its only people from the UK who will know what I'm talking about but every time I hear 'prescott', an overweight, drink-laden scruffy politician with a McDonalds voucher in his pocket springs to mind.

    This also conjours up an impression of the Intel Prescotts being in ineffecient, environmentally-unfriendly and handling code in an annoying accent.

    Why oh why couldn't Intel have called them something else, like Intel Bloody Powerful chips?

      Intel markets it as the TedKennedy core in the US.

      Yes, but it does include the M4 bus line, designed specially so Prescot isn't held up when the bus gets busy.

    When viewing the article at Anandtech, I'm pestered with ads for the AMD64 Opteron..

    With a swift left jab, a Prescott can beat anything. Even egg throwers from Wales.
