Dell and Gateway adopt Intel's P4 Extreme Edition
It has been reported that Gateway, Dell and a few other PC manufacturers have started to introduce new desktop machines that contain Intel's new Extreme Edition Pentium 4 CPU. The PC's containing the new chips, are primarily aimed at gamers, as apparently this type of PC user wants only the fastest and best technology on the market, regardless of the cost.
[blockquote]The Extreme Edition Pentium 4, which Intel added to its product plans during the summer, runs at 3.2GHz, as fast as an existing version of the Pentium 4, but it contains 2MB of cache, four times as much the existing version of the Pentium 4. With large caches, a substantial amount of data can reside on the processor itself, which reduces access time and improves performance. The chip also features hyperthreading, which lets the processor execute two separate applications at once.
