azndragon328 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 do you guys know when the new prescott will launch for sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 I'm pretty sure it'll launch on time, as planned. I mean, Nuclear already has one of their ES chips, so it won't be long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ballz2TheWallz Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 yeah and lower preformance stuff is bs he said it preforms and oc's better than the the current 3.2ghz EE but it runs hotter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 These EE's aren't Prescott cores yet... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special_K Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 exactly nuclear got a hold of a prescott core EE, he says they oc better than the current EEs but they're hotter (to clarify) sorry ballz lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 As far as I know, the launch date is still feb. 2 or feb 15 of this year. I haven't heard any different, and that's when Intel gave permission for me to release my reviews on the prescott cored EE that I have. The release of the 3.6 and 3.8 Precott may have been delayed though. I was hoping and supposed to get a 3.6 Prescott for testing, but I have yet to see or hear anything new on them.

FanATIc205 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 i heard there having performance issues on 875 mobos? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROWNjello109 Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 i heard there having performance issues on 875 mobos? Same here, i'll try to find the link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asus Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 This is what i herd... the 3.4 Ghz processor is slower then the 3.2 and maby even the 3.0 p4's its kinda like AMD, they have a much slower Mhz, but use each clock cycle much more efficentally thus having better proformancce at less MHZ!! Kinda like the prescot.. insted.. the Mhz is higher, but is less efficent per clock cycle, thus having more Mhz in its "name" but not realy the proformance. i dont know.. in my opinion.. if Intel does not fix this, and people find out that thay can get a amd the outproforms a same mhz or higher intel, i have a fealing AMD will soon rise to the top of the processor market.. but it all depends on how Intel lays out its cards.. me persionaly, i would delay the releas of the prescott, until they get the proformance.. that would be crazy, selling a more expensive prescot that runs at 3.4 Ghz but is slower then a faster p4 3.2 Ghz?? so that is what i have to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 I'm hearing shipping delays. sounds like it's going to be out in severely limitted #'s initially (shocking for intel huh?). price wise I HOPE they're wrong when I'm seeing prices around $1200 for the prescotts (hope that's my vendors just being the typical clowns they usually are). performance wise I'm hearing it's not that good right now. however it does sound like a problem with the 875 chipset and prescott... not the chip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROWNjello109 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Here's the link: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12353 It's kinda old so intel might have solved the problem. dunno but anyway, what asus and bigred said is very true. by releasing a crappy chip, they will seriously screw themselves over.

Eva_Unit_0 Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 And by that same notion, if they delay too long trying to fix the problem, they lose a lot of business and respect to AMD. The longer it takes, the worse they look, even if they DO fix the problem. I guess they have to pick the lesser of two evils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
