I've just got word from my good friend Anton Nilsson at Nordic Hardware that they've thrown up their review of Intel's Pentium 4 3.2GHz Extreme Edition processor.
Today, it's time for a new CPU release from the giant chip maker Intel. The CPU is meant to be Intel's new flagship on the desktop market until the launch of the Prescott core dated to the end of this year. By taking an Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz CPU and adding 2 MB L3 cache, the result is an extreme CPU. Intel probably thought of that when naming it, as the name is "Extreme Edition". Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz Extreme Edition is a Pentium 4 3.2 GHz with an additional 2 MB L3 cache.
According to Intel itself, it's targeted at the gaming and enthusiast market, which sounds good, but how much of a difference does the extra L3 cache really do? And is this a CPU capable of holding on to the performance lead for Intel until Prescott is launched?
