Intel launches Prescott on February 2, 2004

Prescott will continue to be a P4 Processor

The change to the processor from the current Northwood P4 is the size
(shrinking to .09 from .13) and the L2 cache increasing to 1MB from the
current 512KB

The system board is NOT changing

Images will NOT be affected, ROM flash is required and is backwards
compatible

Differentiating between Northwood P4 and Prescott P4

E = Prescott

Example:

2.8GHz = Northwood P4 2.8GHz (current product)

2.8E GHz = Prescott P4 2.8GHz

2.8E GHz HT = Prescott P4 2.8GHz HyperThread

Speeds will be from 2.8 - 3.4GHz, HT (2.8E GHz 533 FSB is the only non-
HT in the Prescott line-up)

At launch the 2.8E GHz (non HT) will be at price parity with the current
2.6 GHz, HOWEVER, availability for mass transition will not be until
late April or early May.

Nu er jeg trofast Asus-mand, når det kommer til bundkort, så der kan jeg
fortælle dig, at Asus P4C800-E Deluxe understøtter Prescott. Desuden gør så
godt som alle deres andre 800FSB kort.

Gå ind på http://www.asus.com/index.htm og klik på menupunkt nummer 8 i den
venstre menu, så ser du en komplet liste over de Asus-kort, som understøtter
Prescott.
