fingolfen, that CPU may beat the 2.2Ghz NWood in all benchmarks except the Sandra memory bandwidth bs. Maybe Intel should throw another 512K on that CPU and run with it. C

"Tony, that can't be true... "everyone knows" you can't clock a P3 past 1.0GHz... ;-)" For a Ph.D it is a pretty dumb joke. You should know that there is such a thingy as "process shrink" which makes _THE SAME DESIGNS_ run faster. Which is exactly what is happening right now. The only question why Intel did this if the 2.2 Northwood is so wonderful. I wonder for how much that "old" 1.4 P-III with 512k cache will beat the 2.2GHz P4 on Winstone benchmarks. I bet you will not see any comparisons in Intel's performance whitepapers... - Ali
