TheInquirer.net are reporting that they have found a chip that Intel denied existed as recently as two weeks ago and which has turned up in Japan. Guess what? They also have a review of it! Here's a byte from their review: FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF OUR SAMPLE Pentium 4 2.4GHz chip - due for launch any day now - are pretty good. The Northwood part is built on a 130 nanometre (0.13µ) process which gives benefits in terms of power requirements, heat output and the amount of real estate available on the die. The shrink from 180nm means that the on die L2 cache is 512K - double that of the earlier P4 Willamette parts. At full power the 2.4GHz Northwood has a thermal design power of 57.8W (2GHz Willamette 75.3W) with a core voltage of 1.5V (down from the 1.7V of Willamette) and our sample peaks at 38 degrees C after six hours of 100 per cent CPU utilisation running the SETI client in the background. Not bad considering exactly the same heatsink is used. Intel Pentium4 2.4GHz does exist review
