Pentium 4 3.2GHz on linux

This review is simply a look at an existing processor technology that has been bumped up a notch. The technology that we speak of is that technology that surfaced with the release of the 3.0GHz Pentium 4 paired with the 875P chipset. With this processor we have a quad pumped 200MHz DDR400 bus. Do the math and that gives us a 800MHz CPU front-side bus. This is the most bandwidth offered today on any processor. Compared to the 3.0GHz chip that we reviewed back in April, the 3.2GHz part is almost identical. There are only minor voltage and thermal changes that are so small, they won't affect even abnormal use.
