XtremeSystems.org have just posted up the first US exclusive Intel P4 Prescott Pre-view by their member, FUGGER.
"My processor is a early one with stepping of 1, and the current stepping is 3. my results are from a early sample. Please keep that in mind. Like all products they take time to mature and work bugs out. And I have found out that the chip layout has changed since my stepping was introduced and the current stepping resolves some of the issues I have experienced with this ES chip. Intel has done a great job in responding to the problem and adjusting quickly. I expect clock speeds to be ramped up quickly."
" Please keep in mind that this is an early stepping and this preview is more of a primer of what is to come. I am looking forward to the new silicon for high end benchmarking. My sample is already outdated so to speak with the current changes in the latest batches being boxed for distribution.
The L1 and L2 cache increase has made this processor a winner now, it more than makes up for the longer pipeline. With the addition of SSE3 future applications will be able to benefit from new instructions."
