According to them the Prescott CPUs will be called "Pentium 4 E". This slightly confirms the fact that the Pentium 4 EE will perform better than the first Prescott processors. The first Pentium 4 EE 3.2GHz is going to be launched at $925, and not at approximately $700 like previously expected. It is likely that we can expect more Extreme Edition Pentiums in future. |

They have also spot another strange thing on Intel his roadmaps, in Q3 2004 Intel will be producing Prescotts (90nm, 1MB L2 cache, SSE3) with both a 533MHz or 800MHz FSB!
X86-Secret thinks that Intel might launch these 533MHz Prescotts under the name "Pentium 4 D". These processors will take place in performance & price between the Celerons and the normal Pentium 4 E's.
