I have found some Northwood benchmarks run by a third party to which I can link. Since these are links to websites on the public internet and the content was not created by me, I can safely present them here.
What this person has is an engineering sample of a Northwood (0.13 micron) Pentium 4 1.8GHz running with a 141MHz external clock at 2.2GHz. He is running it on an i845 chipset motherboard (an Asus P4B Rev1.03 Bios:1004) because this was apparently the only Socket 478 motherboard he could find in his region that had a BIOS that would support this processor at this time. Other system components include the following: Tonicom PC-166 CL2 256MB TBGA SDRAM Module, Elsa Gladiac 920 GeForce3 64MB DDRRAM, Seagate Barracuda ATAIII 40GB UltraATA/100 7200RPM, Delta 350W PSU, Taisol CEP405092 w/Delta 7*7*1 3000RPM Fan.
Historically, the Pentium 4 (Willamette) coupled with the SDRAM i845 chipset has performed miserably, especially when compared to the Athlon MP/XP 1.4GHz. When coupled with the i850 chipset it has performed about 30% better, making the performance between the Athlon and Pentium 4 processors a bit more even, but still falling below the Athlon MP/XP 1.4GHz in many benchmarks.
I now present these Northwood benchmarks:

Mature comments are welcome.
