It was a Prescott CPU with a 533MHz (Quad Pumped 133MHz) Front Side Bus. It was however missing Intel HyperThreading technology.

Hope this is a good indication of what the later prescotts will be capable of.

Things look really good for future Prescotts, I was amazed at how well they overclock and performed, being the first "revision".

Wow. Looks like a local store here has them in stock. It's for an affordable price as well. I already have a 2.4 B @ 3.25, so getting this chip wouldn't be all too benefitial, especially without HT. I also noticed that this local store also carries Mobile 2500+. They're really appealing to the OCing community
