AnandTech has taken a look at the first 65nm processor from Intel, the Pentium EE 955. Here's a snip from their test report:
Intel’s move to their 65nm process has gone extremely well. We’ve had 65nm Presler, Cedar Mill and Yonah samples for the past couple of months now and they have been just as good as final, shipping silicon. Just a couple of months ago we previewed Intel’s 65nm Pentium 4 and showcased their reduction in power consumption as well as took an early look at overclocking potential of the chips. Intel’s 65nm Pentium 4s will be the last Pentium 4s to come out of Santa Clara and while we’d strongly suggest waiting to upgrade until we’ve seen what Conroe will bring us, there are those that can’t wait another six months, and for those that are building or buying systems today we need to find out if Intel’s 65nm Pentium 4 processors are any more worthwhile than the rather disappointing chips we had at 90nm.
