Maui, re doesn't look too great compared to .18 P4 as per this article. From the article: Every time the new CPUs were announced, Intel reduced the prices of the older models. However, this time the price drop will be effected a bit later: on January 27, 2002. We have to stress that Pentium 4 2.0A processor on Northwood core and Pentium 4 processor on Willamette core working at the same frequency will not have very different pricing. Pentium 4 2.0A will be only 5% more expensive than its younger brother. It looks as if the performance of the new Pentium 4 CPUs were about to turn out not so much better than that of the older processors even despite the increased L2 cache that is why Intel didn’t dare to make their price much higher. Could it be that Intel drops the Willamette P4 2.0 price more than the Northwood P4 2.0A on January 27? Tony

doesn't look too great compared to .18 P4 as per this article. When Is Pentium 4 Northwood (0.13micron) to Be Launched? Posted 11/27/01 at 4:24 pm by Rat I don't see any benchmarks. What I see, is someone making a guess about performance, based on their interpretation of intel's pricing. Maybe I missed something? Semi

Well, today we are ready to give a more or less exact answer to this question. According to our sources, the first Pentium 4 CPUs based on the new 0.13micron Northwood core will be officially announced on January 7, 2002 snippage I don't see any benchmarks there, though... I was hoping for real data, not assumptions...
