Not sure if this was posted yesterday but ive had a few emails asking if we are going to test any prescotts soon. Im glad to say ive a few processors winging my way and ill be testing a new prescott and seeing what I can hit.
Yesterday on Hardocp:
"When the Pentium 4 processor's new 90nm "Prescott" core was introduced to us, Intel outlined an entire line-up of new CPU SKUs. As we always tend to look at things from an enthusiast standpoint, there was one that really caught our eye. This CPU was the Pentium 4 "2.8A". It was a Prescott CPU with a 533MHz (Quad Pumped 133MHz) Front Side Bus. It was however missing Intel HyperThreading technology.
When we asked specifically about this CPU's planned market availability, we were told some things that did not make us too hopeful about the 2.8A being available to enthusiasts in the North American retail market. It was slated to be an OEM-only CPU that would only be brought to market if the need was defined."
