Pentium 4 2Ghz in January

Hi guys as Intel said (to The Register) it is going to bring Pentium 4 2Ghz in January (3 months earlier than planned), but I am not sure about RDRam . Still DDR support only in Q2 2001. Anyway I guess AMD should also go further. Here is <A HREF="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/14665.html" target="_new">source</A> to get more info.

Yes go ahead and pay $5000 for your 2GHz system and I'll stick with my $2000 system that performs 70% as well as your <i>dream</i> system.


Smart guys are not smart; they only see things in different perspective.

Don't believe in Intel anymore.

Do ANY of you believe an Intel Rep would say this:


"Expect to see P4 much earlier than on the roadmap - we're aggressively going for AMD's balls on the speed front. DirectX 8 is ready and lots of apps and games have been optimised, many more than for the PIII launch, which was a real cockup."

Sounds like a joke to me....

I don't see how Intel can talk about anything in concrete terms when they have yet to actually launch the P4.

Hey,

Look at it this way. Even if Intel does get a big boost and reclaims the speed lead tghis isn't a problem for AMD. Due to the producing capabilities of Intel they can produce more processors than AMD ever could. This isn't bad though. From the little I've seen AMD has really been working to enhance and improve the Athlon. If they can still release higher speeds, and slowly up the fsb, they will always have a slight edge over the P4. All they need to do is not nose dive till the next generation of Athlons are out.

Here is my thought: Why do we have 150MHz memory (obviously that is for overclockers) but we don't have 150MHz FSB chips? You'd think the easiest way to make a faster chip that has more headroom for advancement is just up the fsb.

OMG 2GHz?

lol no on jest chuj

Why dont YOU stop spamming?

@ topic:
WOW, those guys just found out about a 2 GHz P4 =)
And so sad AMD Fanboys already existed back then.

DVD was using giberish so I replied in kind. It turned out he was using Polish.

Finally someone gets why I posted this.
