1066MHz FSB On Intel Q3 Roadmap

edited June 2004 in Science & Tech
1066FSB has been added to the Q3 roadmap, but for only two processors; the 3.46GHz P4EE and the 3.73GHz Prescott Pentium 4. The expected update on FSB has been long overdue; many 865PE and 875P solutions already claim support for 1GHz+ front side bus.
Not only does the Prescott receive an extra boost in FSB, but Intel has slated a new increase in cache size for the Pentium 4 (not P4EE) family. The first new processor (Intel 720) will carry a 2MB L2 cache.

    If I am not mistaken, my A64 has a hypertransport bus of 1600MHz right? 800MHz Double Pumped like DDR ;)

    However, a 4GHz P4 would beat my A64 3000+ at only 2GHz :(

    chances are your hypertransport speed is only 800mhz or 1000mhz. the 1600mhz speeds are yet to be released. Yeah a 4Ghz P4 will kill your Athlon64 3000+. my fastest is a Athlon XP 1800+...o'well...its good enough for now until those Athlon64 chips get cheaper....why couldn't they be as cheap as an Athlon XP :(..I did like Intel, but then I got that 1800+ and looked at benchmarks and prices...Intel must have lost their minds...o'well...AMD rules..Intel needs help.
