Intel's Pentium 4 3.4GHz Processors Reviewed
EconolineCrush writes "In one of the most gratuitous benchmarking indulgences I've seen, Tech Report has tested Intel's new Northwood and Prescott Pentium 4 3.4GHz processors against sixteen competitors ranging from the relatively old school Athlon XP to the opulent Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, with plenty of Athlon 64 action thrown in for good measure. Performance is tested in a wide range of applications, including gaming, rendering, image processing, media encoding, speech recognition, and scientific number crunching. Even if you're not interested in Intel's latest Pentium 4s, the review nicely shows where 18 of the fastest desktop chips from AMD and Intel stack up against each other."
Suck it intel fanboys, and a whole Ghz less too! Ghz dosen't matter, its how you use it!
Another egg, another fight!
An even more overclocked crappy design...
Let me guess, it runs at only what? 154W of thermal dissipation instead of the lowly 150W the 3.2Ghz had?
Geez, maybe if I decide to go EE I'll just move to ALERT and "air cool" my design... that is... [for americans who don't know what Alert is because it wasn't part of some place you could blow up and therefore learn about in a half-ass fisherprice history text....] is a really really cold "cold war" radar station up north. The air is really really cold [as in below 14C for you wussy california types].
Fuck stupid Intel... hey how about sell us some desktop Pentium M's and get over the drug-crazed stupor of a lame excuse P4 line that is but all vapor and no substance.

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
And don't forget the whole thing about being the first to move their product base to 32bit RISC (where they were beaten to it by quite a few years by Acorn and their ARM-based RISC OS range).
The more you look at things the more you realise it's all been done before by someone else years ago.
