Tony, Re: "Prescott being a 0.09 P4?"

xbitlabs.com

"As to the available info, Hyperthreading will be introduced in the desktop Pentium 4 family in the beginning of 2003, together with the shift to a new 0.09micron Prescott core from Northwood."

I can't attest to the reliability of the Prescott portion news, so you should take it with a grain of salt. On the other hand, Hyperthreading is definitely making its way into desktop processors. I'm pretty sure that 2003 is when Intel currently has on their roadmap, according to comments from MPF.

Fin, Prescott being a 0.09 P4?

Unclear wheter it's going to be a "P4" or some other brand name. I honestly haven't been able to find out many details about it or it's follow-on "Tejas" (also mentioned briefly on the web a couple of months ago). What was posted then was Prescott would have an 800MHz FSB and Tejas a 1.2GHz FSB... I haven't been able to determine if Prescott is a NW-shrink or a new design... similarly I haven't been able to determine if Tejas is a Prescott shrink or a new design. I doubt both of them are shrinks (meaning that Tejas would essentially be a double shrink of N'wood)... they both might be new designs...

Intel seems to be doing a much better job of keeping secrets as of late...
