Nothing from the inquirer should be taken seriously. However, there is an issue with Prescott's L1 cache on certain socket 478 mobos. Apparently it is not reading correctly in some of them and not properly working.

Prescott has longer pipeline, that's a good thing.

And how is that? Longer pipeline is never a good thing. Just because the effects of a longer pipeline can be overcome with increased clock speed does not mean that the longer pipe in and of itself is a good thing.

It's not what they tell you, its what they don't tell you!

Taken with the ole grain of salt.

Multiple gate mosfets.. what exactly do they mean by that?

And yes.. definately taken with a grain o salt.

Figured i'd do it too..reality my ass.

I do believe its a good thing for intel lovers, MHz wil go up, and performence isnt that importend.
Kanavit, would you like it if Prescott got 200 stages ?


THG : The last 5-6 reviews have allways either had skewed results, or just somehow strangely come to a completly diferant conclusion then all of the other sites around.

That grain of salt is getting a little heavy lately. About 8 pounds? While they suggest that scotty may be as much as 14% slower, they also say that, due to newer revisions, it may end up faster. Want to believe something? Prescott will be released on feb.2. It will be entertaining.
Thanks Spitfire.

Sorry Mr. Death I hardly had you in mind when I wrote that post in retrospect I guess Death is always there some place.

Perhaps you should get a while you were out sign or back in 5 minutes so you can keep the overlap down to a minimum ?

I know I have avoided death directly for many times over the years and cheated him on more then one occasion it is my philosophy to always have one running shoes handy when the [-peep-] hits the fan, not to run away of course but to be on an equal footing with death so you can beat him down like the worn out dog he is.

P.S no disrespect nothing like Hitler showed Poland but I will be ready for death when he comes as I have always been ready.

I tend to love the INQ, and its still IMHO by far the best tech news/rumour site on the web.. but this article is worthless. I just send Mike a mail cause this "Coco Presters-Prost" doesnt know what he talking about. Let him write the articles on voice controlled porn DVD's..

heh, 200 stages..hmm 10ghz?

Death really is not such a bad person if you take the time to get to know him. I have lunch with him regularly. He's a nice enough chap, though a little down lately.

You see he is not so much a 'worn out dog' as just worn down and melancholy. In and of itself it is not easy being an immortal on the best of days, watching so many centuries pass by like days to us. (Relationships are difficult to form with us when we keep growing old so quickly.) Death however has it much worse, it being his responsibility to harvest the souls of the passed-on and such. It is not exactly an uplifting career.

At first Death saw the necessity for such a position and he had a real fire for the job. Time wore him down however, and the only thing that keeps him going is the burden of responsibility. After all, imagine how quickly the world would overpopulate if no one could die.

So please, try to be nice to Death. He is only doing his part to keep the world turning. Instead of trying to beat him down, why not write him a thank you letter. It would cheer him up to know that he is still appreciated.

Cheers.

Yes it will. They will be faster.

The problem with death DeEvolution is that he in most cases takes the innocent the ones that have never married or known love. He takes the young and unwitting before they have a chance to understand things about life that could have saved them.

He takes the young married couple when a drunk driver slams into their car he takes the unknowing when he fly's a plane into a building and the worst part is he leaves the ones that know better to try and make things better and safer when in fact they are survivors and don't have the patience or a care.

Evil is not in the young of heart or the innocent it is in the hearts of the ones left behind that remember.

Death is evil in that respect alone so death is not something to be feared by the innocent as they do not comprehend the outcome. Death is feared by the ones that know and have beat him before and that leaves what is left in constant turmoil.

When mankind figures a way to beat death for a larger margin of time then we might all start to respect each other more.

Thanks Spitfire.

Want to beleive something else? Prescott will almost certainly fair better in testing at THG than most other review sites. Maybe we can see 15 different runs of quake this time around and one benchmark that favors AMD. I can see the conclusion already...INTEL wins 15 out of 16 benchmarks. I wonder if the buffoons will screw up on the Max power draw ( which I might add is easily obtained from any white paper) only to mysteriously edit the article 2 days later.
