Take note:

Although this means that Intel could bring a 32/64-bit chip to PCs soon, Barrett said the company has no plans do so in the near future. There are a few good reasons for this, PC executives and analysts have said for some time. Very little desktop software exists for 64-bit desktops, and the amount of memory that would go into a 64-bit desktop would greatly escalate the price.

All you waiting for 64 bit Intels really are wasting your time right now, unless you want a half supported workstation/server 64 chip.

Intel Prescott Benchmarks (http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20040201/prescott-10.html#opengl)

Hey, here is a review on the new prescott. It also has benchmarks...so far the 3.2 Northwood beats the 3.2 Prescott...hmm :unsure: hopefully the higher frequincies will make them faster!

Whats that all about :wacko:?

Read the title :P

tom's hardware is intel biased, so you can't trust them

[bigdawgfoxx]

Well..when the review is an intel based review...and they have AMD winning in a lot of things..i dont think it is biased at all. I was just adding some prescott stuff along with the 64Bit stuff you listed

they are biased towards intel, but they also tell you the truth too.

look on the hardnews page, they have multiple articles about intel products and great htings about them but the only article there about amd is that dell is not going to use amd's in their computers....

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok...well do you mean that they just say intel is better in articles? cuz thats fine with me...

or do they actually change numbers to make intel look better? that i do have a problem with.

they have been busted cooking the book's over benchmark test's among other things
take everything from them with a grain of salt

lol it means that thye were caught changing the results on intel processor benchmarks etc. and you shouldnt beleive what they say.

Tom&#39;s Hardware&#39;s AMD Bashing "Intel 64-bit Doomsday Scenario" Article (http://www.tomshardware.com/column/20040218/index.html)

isnt the prescot spose to be much better because of the extra pipelines or whatever they are called.

Micro Mart had a whole article on it the other week.


In a daring move to pep up performance on thier P4&#39;s, Intel have decieded to redesign the forthcomong P4 &#39;Prescott&#39; chip and kit it out with a larger pipeline. This should make it run considerably faster than most other chips in the P4 line. In fact, tecchies reckon it should clock in at the 3.4GHz mark - add to that the upped cache it&#39;ll have and this think looks set to shift. Current P4&#39;s have 512kb cache; Prescott will top that wil a 1Gig job. It will also feature better hyperthreading, which lets a chipprocess applications simultaneously, and a new multimedia instructions for video and music processing. Whether its going to simply smoke or going up in flames remains to be seen, though.
The Prescott chip is due to be released on 2nd Feb but could these last minute alterations cause a delay? After all it is pretty major surgery. Another thing is exactly what difference will we fine between this sparkly new P4 and the equivlents from, say, AMD who are allready packing soime chips with serious clout at considerably more reasonable prices? One upshot of the Prescott&#39;s lanch wil be that all the &#39;inferior&#39; lower spec P4 chips should come down to a more pocketable price.

wow looks like i board everone to death with my constant blabering <_< and i knwo i spelt board wrong :rolleyes:

Would you rather through your head at a wall( :frusty: ), or a pc? :wacko: :devil:


meh :P

[Mad Cat]

It seems the Prescott has taken over the thread :wacko:

Supposedly, at current speeds, the Prescott loses to its Northwood brother. Search google and find some stuff, try looking at anand tech or maybe tom&#39;s hardware as bigdawg said.

this is a presscot threas isnt it? :blink: o crap, i should really stop drinking after the vision starts to get to blury that thr QWERTY keyboard turns into GOBEDPORN keyboard :unsure:
