Interesting news by the Inquirer...
Dothan will be introduced <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15176" target="_new">at speeds up to 2Ghz</A>. If this processor is to have higher IPC than Banias, then it will be one hell of a processor! 2MB cache, and all... Dothan was expected to be introduced late last year at speeds of up to 1.8Ghz, not a full 2Ghz. This is good news...
The inquirer also <A HREF="http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15175" target="_new">reported</A> that Intel is really ironing out the heat problems they were having. So they should be able to clock scotty up all the way to 4Ghz... If only they activated that damned 64-bitness... :frown:
Plus, Prescott-based Celerons <A HREF="http://www.x86-secret.com/popups/articleswindow.php?id=101" target="_new">don't suck</A> as usual, they're actually reasonable... Not for us, but it's not the usual ripoff.
