The Prescott had finally arrived, and knowing the risks I would be taking even after learning of the chip´s defeatist architecture, I went ahead and purchased the world´s first CPU built upon a 90nm process, and compatible (at least initially) with Socket-478. I´m no martyr, however; I´ve done this for you the reader. Knowing Anandtech had tested Prescott up against Northwood, and Northwood bested the 90nm chip in most benchmarks at default speeds, was ancillary to why. This question had to be answered, and furthermore was Prescott salvageable?
