Prescott makes play for living room
News Manufacturing advances will also mean that processors on the Prescott design will proliferate more quickly across the price spectrum of computers than many predecessors, thereby putting pressure on Advanced Micro Devices.

Inside Intel's Prescott
Talkback Well, looks like all of this criticism of the Prescott as finally hurt Intel's feelings. The Prescott is the end of line for Pentium 4, folks, take it or leave it. It's now no longer going to sell Pentium 4's any longer, it's cancelled all further...

Inside Intel's Prescott review
Reviews Intel's Prescott processor is being launched with less fuss than some previous chips enjoyed. However, while there are many innovations in Prescott’s design and manufacture, none lead to significant performance gains straight away.

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks review
Reviews Intel’s new ‘Prescott’ Pentium 4 has double the L1 and L2 cache of its ‘Northwood’ predecessor. The fact that this is mostly not the case -- Prescott is sometimes slower than previous Pentium 4 variants -- is because the chip’s command pipeline has...

Inside Intel's Prescott
Talkback I'm guessing that the Prescott chip will cost the same as Northwood (if not more to start with) while offering no extra value. So Intel will squeeze 4 times as many chips out of each wafer which will reduce the cost of producing them.

Prescott flunks benchmark tests
Talkback I am glad that all my processors have been AMD. Reliable performance always. I will soon be upgrading to Athlon 64.

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback Thanks for the only slightly Intel-biased review (Dual DIMMs give the Intel mobos dual-channel RAM over AMD's single-channel single DIMM). While this doesn't make the Intel CPUs dominate the tests, it does make them look not quite as bad as they...

Intel's 'Prescott' chips go live
News A number of other PC makers, ranging from IBM to Micro Centre, will add desktops with Prescott chips as well. The new crop of Pentium 4s, which will spawn a number of new desktop PC models, will include three chips based on a fresh processor design...

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback re.the previous comment: Athlon 64 features only a single channel memory interface. Therefore it is irrelevant to have two DIMMs installed. The Athlon FX offers a Dual-Channel-Interface. With this processor it is important to have two DIMMs...

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback Thanks for the great review. It was good to see a test that test each application/game in different configurations to find trends. Great job!

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback re: Dual-Channel Sorry Kai, I was thinking about the socket 940 FX. Also, I shall retract my statement about ZDNet. After further review, some of the benchmarks you performed are different enough from the "standard" that (when balanced with other...

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback When will IT departments realise that Intel processors are overpriced, over-hyped and over heated? Choosing AMD processors will be cheaper up front and cheaper in the long run (less power being used).

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks
Talkback Well, gotta say, there might be some hope for ZDNet afterall. None of the usual Intel butt-kissing and making excuses for whenever it does worse than its competition. And I'm impressed by the fact that you're using F1 simulations to do some testing...

Lousy transcription, or does Michael really talk like John Prescott?
Talkback Michael Meeks has a tough job. Anyone who's struggled with making documents not created in the Word interface with Microsoft Office should be able to sympathise.extra 'the' makes the above confusing. The example I like to give is "Clippy" — remember?
