FanATIc205 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1535&page=5 http://www.lostcircuits.com/cpu/prescott/ http://www.mbreview.com/prescott32.php doesnt look to be the athlon3400+ killer so the rumors were true its slower than the northwood in alot of test Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanATIc205 Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 well technically theres still a nda up till tomorow so i dont know why there up. but this is just the start theres going to be a slew of new intel cpu's announced tommorw i think p4 3.4ee 3.4 northwood is already on sale at zzf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted February 1, 2004 Posted February 1, 2004 All I can say is... pwned This makes me happy to see... The price on the "c" series will drop and you can still get better perf out of them then the prescott seems to put out (in a non-oced state)... Gotta love it! My 3200+ owned the prescott in pretty much all gaming benches and the PC stats didn't test the 3000+ but as far as other benches are concerned they are way close... Nothing like real-life gaming benches to stick a big one to Intel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 All I've got to say is.... everyone knows what I just ordered. That's all I'm gonna say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempesta Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) I've seen the 3.4 Northwood for just North of $400 on Newegg and ZipZoomFly. Guess I'll stick with my Northwood core and wait till the prices of the 3.4 go down.... Edited February 2, 2004 by Tempesta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYoKoNA Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Prices are supposed to drop on the "c" series 16 - 33%..... As far as the "Prescott" with the extended pipelines i wouldnt bother on getting one till they come out with a 3.6 / 3.8 (that will be a new socket on a new board to o/c on... then the #'s will show....)

Guest FxXP Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Again we are seeing the same thing between P4's and Athlons as we once did when they both first hit the shelves 3-4 years ago. If you want gaming, go with AMD. If you want a workhouse for productivity, go Intel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Smith Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 The prescott is not meant to compete against the Athlon 64's its a 32 bit cpu and thats what market it is intended to be in. Stop compairing it to 64 bit cpu's That not why it was released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 I beg to differ here... It is meant to compete with 64 bit CPU's because when you compare you are looking at a price/perf angle... If you DID compare the competing product in price range (athlon 64 to prescott) we see it, the AMD's are winning (as stated prior in non-oced state) It's also meant to compete because athlon 64's not only run in 64 bit mode, but also in 32... so they are on the same playing field... so they can be compared as rivals in the 32 bit performance market. If you see how my logic is flawed please let me know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
