Pentium 4 Extreme Edition At 3.40ghz And Pentium 4

[adamp2p]

Intel Corporation has reportedly reformed its CPU roadmap once again, adding some more powerful 0.13 micron processors, but staying rather tight-lipped concerning the higher-end 90nm CPUs ramp up in early 2004.


Sources close to Intel are reporting about two new microprocessors for Socket 478 infrastructure to emerge in the first quarter 2004. The first processor will be Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition at 3.40GHz with 2MB of L3 cache, the second one will be the Intel Pentium 4 processor at 3.40GHz with 512KB of L2 cache. Both chips will be produced using Intel’s mature 0.13 micron technology and will feature 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus being compatible with existing i865 and i875P infrastructure.

At the same time – presumably in Q1 2004 – Intel is projected to also roll-out its Pentium 4 processor with SSE3 technology (Prescott) processor at 2.80GHz with 1MB of L2, 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus and no HT technology indicated. In the second quarter the company is very likely to unveil a version of this 90nm CPU for LGA775 platform as well

It looks like Intel will be behind AMD for a while longer than they anticipated...how much faster can the P4 go?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Damn...everyone was saying like 3.2 was a push for it and prob cant go any further...but now 3.4! Man i still love that pentium 4! ....i bet its gona cost a shitload though! but all the others will drop in price ;)

About 4.6Ghz, from what I have heard among alot of the Pentium Overclockers. With a ride range of P4's, all on the northwood core these days, have all topped about at the most at 4.6Ghz.

So it looks like thats the ceiling for Intel, and they usually like to keep atleast a 1Ghz gap on their processors highest clock speed. Which means that those 3.4's, or 3.6's are going to be the last of the P4s.

Just going to have to wait and see though.

I think that the 4.6 thing is a bit of a fluke or at least it is not a real time clock speed for the average joe, even with water cooling etc etc I can believe there is stability at 3.5 GHz but past that its risky.

this saga of the pentium line has been fun to watch&#33; i wonder what the public reaction will be top the end of P4 (i say this because i work with a group of idiots who don&#39;t know anything, and think that pentium is just of the shelf better then anything else imaginable... <_< ) but this should be a few intresting months, as 64 bit is phased in, and new chip layouts are put forth by both "superpower" chip makers, this coming year will be very intresting indeed...

I prefer amd my self.

yep. that&#39;s about it after ocing. the 5 ghz one i mentioned turned out to be a buff. dumbass

why the fk do people lie to sound good?&#33;

[SciManAl]

so they look like god, to enflate thier egos... it doesn&#39;t help to say that something is defintly posible, when inded it has never been done...

[mooseman2070]

p4 3.8ghz (http://go-l.com/desktops/machl38/features/index.htm)

yep, 3.8 ghz, but it cost a buttload

[mooseman2070]

wait, looks like l computers have been OCing. it says it is really a 3.2ghz at the bottom of the screen

lol, yeah, the people who were doing that were either using dry ice, to just see how far it could go, or something else, I will have to go dig up that site that one of the guys does reviews at.

But yeah, its not what they run 24/7 at, just what they were able to do.

I know you can easily do over 4Ghz on just water cooling though, just look at the top 3dMark01 scores, or 03 scores, or even the PC mark scores, they ususally are P4&#39;s at the top, 4Ghz or around there.

That may be the top for the current P4 line but in no way the fastest that Intel will go. It&#39;s only a temporary situation that they will overcome with even smaller technology. There is still Moore&#39;s law (http://www.intel.com/research/silicon/mooreslaw.htm) which states that CPU power doubles every 18 months or something like that.

So, no end in sight yet.

Intel demonstrated running their P4 up to 4.6GHz (if I remember correctly), and then Windows crashed. You can download the video from tomshardware.com.

A recent article at Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com) noted that AMD, Intel and Motorola are all developing new transistor technologies which will help to keep Moore&#39;s Law on-track.

well they may also shift archetechure though... especially with the 64 bits coming in to play... they may be jumping on to that new medium... of course we have to ask ourselfs, except for mission critical roles i.e. servers supercomputers, and mainframes, does anyone HAVE to have over 3.6ghz or so in thier personal computer?? i say no, not for a while at least... of course, that remark could be something i laugh at in a year or two... untill some really high end applications come out, i feel a direction of qaulity may be the one to be addressed for right now. a computer that never has problems... hehehe :P AOL put me out of buisness lol now i can&#39;t go over to hot chicks houses and fix thier computers... hehehe :P (because AOL will automaticly fix all problems on the computer, or so it claims, i would like to see AOL make my computer work when it is unplugged... :lol: )

[clocker]

I wish AOL would quit trying to "fix" computers and concentrate on trying to keep my DSL up and running.
