1066 bus??

P4 loves mem bandwith it should give him a nice boost. Specially paired with 2 mb of cache!

I didnt hear of any lower clocked 1066 Prescott altough we will probly see some lower than 3.73ghz I doubt will see any below 3ghz cuz these chip are aimed at higher end sector. Altoguh I could be wrong...

Paired with DDRII 667 with an unlocked 925XE it could probly reach some nice speed with water cooling(at least =Þ )

Asus P4P800DX, P4C 2.6ghz@3.25ghz, 2X512 OCZ PC4000 3-4-4-8, Leadtek FX5900 w/ FX5950U bios@500/1000, 2X30gig Raid0

yes, the Prescott 3.73ghz with 2mb L2 1066fsb should perform roughly the same as a P4 3.46EE 2mb L3 1066fsb. Can't wait to see the benchmarks. I think we will see a substantial increase in performance.

I think a 3.73Ghz, 1066Mhz FSB P4F with 2MB L2 (and EM64T) might even be enough to level the playing field with current AMD processors... to a reasonable level. Intel is getting beaten up in availability and performance right now. It must NOT carry EE's price tag, though, or it will have no impact.

If Intel takes too long, though, AMD might release a 4000+... which will make things that much harder.

Grr.. Only if Intel chips where cheaper. Why do they charge so much for a chip that is beat by one that is $300 cheaper. So sad. Mabie intel will catch up to amd one day.

A64's are scaling to 2.6ghz pretty easily

if they can impliement whatever manufacturing process they did with the athlonxp's that allowed them to get to 2.5ghz+, then they should have no problem releasing the 4000+

what i dont like is how AMD's naming scheme is always too hgih. the 3500+ should be the 3400+, the 3200+ should be the 3000+ and so on... kinda lame, because the Intel equivilent to the AMD model number is usually a tad faster

I will be swapping CPU's soon. Tests run on R507 mmodded Vapochill LS -60c on the display -46c in bios
