Intel Quietly Introduces 3.8GHz P4

Posted by timothy on from the ouch-that-hertz-so-much dept.

BatonRogue writes "I didn't see this anywhere else, but it looks like Intel has quietly launched their Pentium 4 570J running at 3.8GHz. The J denotes Intel's Execute Disable Bit support, which they have also quietly introduced (it seems to save face of being 2nd to support it behind AMD). AnandTech seems to be the only place to have a review of the 570J. It performs reasonably well and even better than AMD in some areas, while falling behind in things like games. AnandTech has a nice one page benchmark comparison of the 570J to AMD's 4000+ as a quick reference."

    Intel's plans for a quiet introduction goes down the drain.

    For a moment there I read "Executive Disable" bit. I'd have bought that gadget in a minute!

    A 3.8ghz P4 chip out in time for people who need an extra computer and an extra space heater.

    So that's what Intel means by "Extreme Edition". Extreme power consumption, exteme temperatures, extreme cooling solutions..

    In fact, the only thing anyone noticed was the rise in ambient air temperature.

    I find that my 2.0 Ghz can hardly heat the room as quickly as I'd like it to. Maybe if I get the new Intel 3.6 Ghz, I could also have the added benefit of toasting marshmallows on it.

    Whoever upgrades their CPU to look for aliens is a fool.

    What I can't wait for is the first time AMD makes a processor that benches slower than it's actual clock speed in comparison to some Intel part. Will they suck it up and call the 4500 MHz part a 4200+, or is it all marketing bullshit through and through?
