It's at aceshardware.com. <A HREF="http://www.aceshardware.com" target="_new">http://www.aceshardware.com</A>


Edit: Oh yeah, extreme edition or not, as expected the benches show not a lot of improvement with the increased cache. Certainly its not enough to justify the price tag.

Is it worth the money?

 

[bandikoot]

Well there's no reason to head over there now. They've taken them down due to an NDA date that intel forgot to inform them of. IIRC the only one with a sizeable increase was commanche 4, something like a 17% increase, the rest just went up a few fps which translates to approx 5% increase in performance.

Hey, that is not a big incredible boost, but it's a fair enough boost! Plus, a 3.4Ghz Northwood shows that they had more headroom than they led us to believe.

I think a 3.4Ghz NW with 2MB cache looks good... At which price tag, I wonder, will this be sold?...

Certainly its not enough to justify the price tag.

Which price tag?... I wasn't aware that the pricing was out...

By guestimation the Intel P4 EE (Emergency Edition) will probably have EP (Extreme Pricing). :lol:

As funny as that sounds... the not funny part is it is probably true.

Yep. Your link works.

Well, I didn't think that was gonna happen!!!
