Question about Intel processors

[EvilClown]

---

mga tol i was wondering... wen i browse thru topics i encounter terms "Prescott" & "northwood" while discussing P4's, my question is what are those this?

CPU codename

dili sila parehas ug spec anf northwood medyo bugnaw ang prescott init warag aircon nga daan ang fan...

[EvilClown]

ahhh ok u min lain2x ug socket? is that it? asa mai 478 ug LGA ani nila?

[EarlZ]

Northwood was the older P4 core which had 512MB L2Cache
Prescott is the new CPU Core sa P4 which has over 1MB L2Cache and works @ a higher clock speed and requires a mother board support for the socket

[Visual C#]

Some earlier Prescotts run on mPGA 478, the newer ones run on LGA 775.

Intel is planning to scrap the Prescott architecture altogether, as they are having serious heat problems with it.

Ey, and how about a Pentium 4 clocked at 7 GHZ!

clock at 7ghz that is just for a show its not gonna happen your running that thing in everyday use.... investing a lot of money is not good in building computer, it will not last a long time
