Intel limits Socket 478 CPU evolution

edited January 2004 in Science & Tech
Some sources have reported that Intel may now have no plans to produce a chip faster than a 3.4GHz for Socket 478 based systems.

[blockquote]All Intel Pentium 4 processors starting from 3.60GHz will come in LGA775 packaging and will not be compatible with existing Socket 478 infrastructure. For the latter, the Santa Clara, California-based CPU maker will offer Pentium 4 “Northwood” 3.40GHz processors with 512KB L2 cache and 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus as well as Pentium 4 “Prescott” 3.40GHz processors with 1MB L2 and 800MHz PSB.[/blockquote]
