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."

    However the full review is a good 14 pages of ad cluttered pages. I see they're taking the Tom's Hardware approach to generating ad dollars.

    Intel and AMD should watch out for the Chinese. They will likely steal the concept of the "execute disable" bit and implement it in the Dragon chip.

    95% of software in China is pirated. The figure also applies to patented technology.
