VR-Zone has done up a review on the new Pentium 4 2.4Ghz based on 0.13 micron Northwood core. Pentium 4 2.4Ghz is the first processor to be mass produced using smaller circuits and large 300mm wafers.

Also they have managed to overclock this P4 2.4Ghz to 3.15Ghz air cooled which is higher than what can be achieved with the P4 2.2Ghz so it may give some indications that the core is better.

they have compared this Pentium 4 2.4Ghz against the Athlon XP 2000+ and done a whole series of benchmarks to test out the CPU, Memory, Gaming, Rendering, Video, CAD, Office and Content Creation performance. Intel Pentium 4 2.4Ghz Review
