Intel's Prescott makes multimedia play

Well, we'll see...: In case you haven't heard, Intel appears to be playing the Megahertz game again.

If I understand correctly, to support the higher clock numbers (I'll hold off on using the word 'speed' for now), they again lengthened the Pipeline.

More of what caused the P4 to be slow when it was initially released.

It is not yet known whether the larger cache will overcome this shortfall. Not until actual samples get into the hands of testers.

I have no intention of upgrading to these unti I see the real-world performance benifits, or hinderance, whichever it may be.; Posted by: BitTwiddler Posted on: 01/27/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
