Pentium 4 3.60GHz to Fight AMD Athlon 64 3700+ in April
[blockquote]The next big competition between arch-rivals Intel and AMD is likely to happen this April, when Intel Pentium 4 3.60GHz and AMD Athlon 64 2.40GHz microprocessors are released. In addition to new chips, both firms will offer new platforms with new sockets for CPUs as well as PCI Express bus for next-generation add-in cards.
AMD’s faster Athlon 64 3700+ and FX-53 processors will transpire in the very late first quarter – on the 29th of March to support the company’s new Socket 939 infrastructure. The firm will also unveil Athlon 64 3700+ for Socket 754 platform in May as well as the Athlon 64 FX-53 for Socket 940 mainboards on the 29th of March. The result of new introductions will be a very competitive position against Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor 3.40GHz as well as against LGA775 Pentium 4 3.60GHz that is set to come in the second quarter.
Later during the year Intel will release its Pentium 4 3.80GHz chip in Q3 as well as Pentium 4 4.00GHz in Q4. AMD will not answer Pentium 4 3.80GHz with any new offerings, but will continue to market Athlon 64 FX-53 (2.40GHz) as well as Athlon 64 3700+ (2.40GHz) in the third; in the Q4 expect AMD to bring its first 90nm chips, dubbed Athlon 64 4000+ (2.60GHz) along with Athlon 64 FX-55 (2.60GHz), to fight the Pentium 4 “Prescott” processor at 4.00GHz clock-speed.[/blockquote]
