New Intel Socket 775 processors. A successful start and a hint at future progres Review
|

In general, despite new processors and chipsets, we have nothing
extraordinary. Yes, there's a new socket. Yes, there are new chipsets along
with new memory. But we still think that the situation would hardly change,
if Pentium 4 550 and Pentium 4 560 were named just Pentium 4 3.4E GHz and
Pentium 4 3.6 GHz and were designed for the good old Socket 478. Some
results would be better, some worse maybe (but hardly considerably bad to
stress them). The main thing that Intel's new platform demonstrates is
vendor's priorities and future plans: noone is going to decline Prescott
despite it loses to Northwood sometimes. Especially, considering it wins
over Northwood in other situations, and is particularly good with
Hyper-Threading. Prescott's drawbacks will seemingly be fixed in a good old
way - by clock rate.
