Ho-Hum...
"But Prescott includes a number of updates and changes, such as 1MB of cache--twice the size of Northwood--and several new instructions, designed to increase the Pentium 4's multimedia savvy, Intel said. "

And all these great "Improvements" are wiped out by Intel extending the P4 Pipeline yet again, just so they can start back up the Megahertz race nonsense.

You fooled us once, Intel. Not again.

I was going to upgrade my current P4 2.53Ghz system to a Prescott based system. It's what I've been waiting for. But after learning of their new shenanigans I think not. For me I believe it's back to AMD and an Athlon 64 system...

More money for the same performance. What a concept!
