£200 for 3.2, £170 for 3Ghz, 2.8 for £140, cheaper than p4 now, 3.4Ghz p4 and prescott are £310, yes, INtel are price matching Ath 64's. AFAIK they've not had to , and not been intimidated into doing that and i've not seen a new intel chip come out that cheap.
yep ,was release yesterday, available on asetek home page, it was launched at 99 euros, £66ish, but does socket 754/940 and will be 939 and does p4 socket too. Also looks far better and easier to install, apparently gives better contact, slightly better temps too.
Although on asetek site it says 99 euros it sells for 145 euros on their site
So you'll probo have to wait for chillblast/ocuk to stock them to not get a ridiculous price. But don't feel down yet, US guys wanting to get it now, with a very weak exchange rate will cost them $183 dollars delivered even though its supposed to be $109 in the states.
is there going to be 2.8 prescott, if there is going to be one
is it any faster than normal p4 2.8ghz (800 fsb)
Cheers Drunkenmaster, might be time to flog on this older vapo and get me an new uptodate version or a newer prommie
Seen some pics of the new head and does look easier to install tho
serlex, looks like it will be marginally faster, i think them being worth an upgrade will be down to if your current cpu clocks well and if the prescotts clock well, which they could easily not. Remember t-bred a's, first chips on new process aren't always very scalable, clockable and cool. Wait till end of month and plenty of people should have them and word on clockability will be out.
Monday, the 2nd of February will be a big day for Intel, as the company unveils 7 new desktop microprocessors on that date. The list includes 4 Prescott processors with 1MB of L2 cache, 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus, SSE3, HT technology, running at 3.40GHz, 3.20GHz, 3.00GHz and 2.80GHz; Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor at 3.40GHz with 2MB cache, 800MHz QPB and HT technology; Intel Pentium 4 Northwood with 512KB cache at 3.40GHz; Intel Pentium 4 2.80A processor with 533MHz PSB, 1MB of cache, SSE3, based on Prescott core, but without HT technology.
cool, well i said many times in hexus, i will wait for better prices and products. i got £500 max to spend on a new system. and the mobo and cpu is the most important parts.
im thinking of athlon 64 3200+ or pentium 4 2.8ghz (800)
but if prescott is better than amd in both price and quality, i will get prescott.
what do you i should do with £500
Give it all to me
Nah if you can wait then thats cool, I'm just pricing up and AMD64 sys atm to order in the next week or so, prob going to go with the 3400+ abit KV8 (this is only bit I'm still uncertain bout) gig ram and a rad9800pro (not sure whether to grab a 256 ver or not)
And these benchies cartainly make me drool
Heres mine @ 3.5ghz (havent played for a while)! Your pifast time is damn impressive! Any luck with 2900mhz+ yet?
Sorry about the large pic
... I'm still waitingOriginally Posted by Ethos
I wasn't starting a INTEL VS AMD thread, just simply stating that your multi-media benchmark on sandra is pretty low
God I wish I had as much money as you lot to fritter away on the latest and greatest components!
sorry m8, save and you will have £500 to spend like me. it's worth of waiting (i think)
I am saving, but I have to save for my own place!
Maybe when I have my own place, I'll be able to save up a little to afford some nice gear...
computer market is fast and harsh on people.
you buy something one day, next day lower price or better component
I know, but look at my sig, I'm too far behind the times!computer market is fast and harsh on people.
you buy something one day, next day lower price or better component
mobo limited 100% as 260mhz was the max fsb it would run anything at even with a lower multi..
BTW base/bios temp of -35c load thur testing
didnt get my 30s superpi but ona nf3 mobo I would have hit 3ghz+ easy
told ya'll my dryice contanier was the sh*t
