Tiger Woods Out...Until August!

| | (Post a comment) » Intel's Pentium 4 3.4GHz Extreme Edition & Pentium 4 560Over the weekend Intel launched a slew of new products: a handful of new processors all based on a new 775-pin interface, and two new chipset families (915 and 925), that support PCI Express, DDR2 memory, enhanced RAID and SATA storage, and a new 7-channel audio standard. In today's article Chris gives the low down on all these new technologies, and evaluates the performance of Intel's newest processors and the 925X platform. See what's changed and how it will affect the PC industry by reading this article! |  Previous news article | Back to main news | Next news article  |

Sounds like it will eat up a crap load of cpu time though with all
of that enabled on a codec. I'll stick with my Audigy 2ZS platinum
pro.

Also, Intel's best performer is still a Northwood.
Looks like it is going to take a 1066FSB and a 4.2Ghz Prescott to
compete with the 3.4EE's and by the time they get that out the door,
the FX-57 will be here, probably beating both of them. By THAT
time, 64-bit XP will be out, and if the rumors are true, and Intel's
copy of AMD's 64-bit extenstions is less than spectacular, what's
going to get them the performance crown? A longer pipeline and 6MB
of L4 cache? Please.
Opterons are cheaper than Xeons and more scalable.
Why would anyone buy an Intel chip this year at all unless DUDE
THEY'RE GETTING A DELL!?!!??

Holy crap. Can you kiss Intel's $@@ any more? Mobo manufacturers
have had the capability to add high end dolby certified audio or
wireless to mobos a long time ago. Nobody wants to pay for it so
it's not that popular, or it would be prevalent today.
Your conclusion goes way off topic to talk about paper releases and
clearly Prescott is sucking dust right now, shown even by your own
anemic benchmark collection.
Mention a bevy of as-yet-unavailable hardware additions for this
board that will make it worth buying, but go out of your way to omit
the fact that these prescotts will likely be spanked even further
when the 64 bit version of windows is released about the same time
the rest of this chipset shows up.
Don't pretend this chipset is going to get some kind of boost from
DDR2 when you can't even increase the FSB to slap in a DDR566 chip
later on for more performance. Nevermind that DDR2 @ 533 appears to
be getting "pwned" by DDR400. Is this not a significant
detail?
Is this new Prescott running cooler that the first ones? Sure would
be nice to know how hot they are at 3.6Ghz. Sorta determines a bit
about what kind of cooling you need on it.
I really hope you guys come out with something a little better than
this. Otherwise stick to the games and just link to a hardware site
that has the balls to state the obvious.

Yep, but what did you really expect from them? They have pretty
much always delivered marginal products at inflated prices. They
long ago adopted the business methods of Microsoft when neither of
them had any viable competition. It's quite funny to see the mass
exodus of customers from these two companies as real competitive
alternatives come into play. They fooled themselves into believing
they dominated due to their "superior" products.

As supprising as it might be a lot of companies bought products
years ago and because they still live up to what they are needed for
they still are used. Why replace a keyboard, mouse or a printer when
they work just because the new model uses USB?

Ok, we have DDR2, PCI express, SATA, why in the hell they still use
serial and parallel ports? or PS2 connection for mouse and keyboard?
Maybe in 10 years they will be removed.
