Pentium 4 SSE3 "Prescott" Extreme Edition Unlikely

Advertisement (Why?)

Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor at 3.40GHz will be Intel’s only Extreme Edition chip for a while, as the company does not currently have plans to make processors with L3 cache using 90nm technology next year.

The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition microprocessors called as Pentium 4 XE or Pentium 4 EE by the hardware community are based on the 0.13 micron core designed for multi-processor servers called “Gallatin”. Originally announced in Q4 2002, Gallatin Xeon MP processors with large level three caches are generally expected to serve Intel’s IA32 MP servers till very late 2004 or early 2005.

Prescott doesn't look so good coming out of the gate, without HT it's just not as attractive at the lower tier. It seems second and third editions are worth waiting for.

As are most initial designs. Early adopters are always the test bed and by 2nd gen they clear up performance and other issues--just look at the A64/fx next year they'll be introducing a new pin config.

Prescott will not have HT? What are you talking about!

There will be one model of Prescott that won't have it that'll be the 2.80A. Everything else will have an 800MHz FSB and HT and SSE3.

Monday, the 2nd of February will be a big day for Intel, as the company unveils 7 new desktop microprocessors on that date. The list includes 4 Prescott processors with 1MB of L2 cache, 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus, SSE3, HT technology, running at 3.40GHz, 3.20GHz, 3.00GHz and 2.80GHz; Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor at 3.40GHz with 2MB cache, 800MHz QPB and HT technology; Intel Pentium 4 Northwood with 512KB cache at 3.40GHz; Intel Pentium 4 2.80A processor with 533MHz PSB, 1MB of cache, SSE3, based on Prescott core, but without HT technology.

Yeah What!
