Dave Re..I am wireless on a crappy laptop connection for the next five days. I couldn't find this, can you please post a reply to this post with a link. Thank you in advance, Dave, here are my sources http://www.tomshardware.com/technews/technews-20001123.html#0010 http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT112200000000 Based upon the reviews of this processor, it appears that initially AMD might have gained the most in terms of PR, but it is also apparent that Intel has once again introduced a core that will carry them a long way into the future. These reviews show that the P4 provides no significant performance benefit over the Athlon or PIII using current mainstream applications, however, the synthetic benchmarks show that there are plenty of opportunities for improvement. There are also opportunities for a new class of applications that can take advantage of the memory bandwidth and floating point performance it provides. Recent reports seem to indicate that Intel has decided to scale back their aggressive plans to ramp the P4 early in the year, most likely because feedback from OEMs was not positive. Fast ramps make systems obsolete quicker, and it is anticipated that the initial demand for the P4 will not be huge. I would expect that once the Northwood part becomes available, we will see some fast ramps as Intel once again goes for the performance crown.<<
