Intel Preps New Pentium 4 Processors

[KingFish]

Intel is planning to introduce over the coming months eight new Pentium 4 processors utilizing a new packaging technique. Among the new chips will be the company's first workstation processors with 64-bit extensions technology, according to a document posted on Intel's Web site.

Five of the eight new chips will launch alongside the Grantsdale and Alderwood chipsets on June 21, an Intel spokesperson confirms. Grantsdale and Alderwood are new chipsets that come with support for the PCI Express interconnect technology and DDR2 memory.
Maybe this will force a price drop with AMD's steep pricing with their A64 line. -KF

Woo. I still love hearing three years of BS about clockspeeds, HT, and cache from Intel.. Only for them to hit the scramble button, sack 5 years of R&D between two CPUs, sack a bunch of employees, follow in AMD's footsteps with a rating system, 64bit, and shorter pipelines.

They do play a mighty fine game of catch-up.
