Hence, our expectations for the all-new 65 nm Pentium Extreme Edition 955 based on Presler are rather high: It is based on a state-of-the-art manufacturing process, comes with double the L2 cache (2x 2 MB rather than 1x 1 MB), an accelerated system clock speed (FSB1066 instead of FSB800) and a core clock speed increase of approximately 8.25%. Will this finally be enough to pose a threat to AMD's current performance superiority?
