Intel Prescott Released

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.

Just read the summary, it outlines the new in the most basic form so that even you can understand it.

With several months delay, Intel is now starting to transition from a 130-nm to its 90-nm production process. But the new processor crop, marked with an E after the clock speed number, will only ship up to 3.2 GHz for the time being with the 3.4 GHz version to follow later. The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, meanwhile, is also available at 3.4 GHz, and takes the top position instead, flanked by the regular 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 version.

They are going 90nm now. First they will ship 3.2 GHz, and 3.4 later. The Extreme is already 3.4

Its not that hard, you know. Dont bitch about it.
