    Prescott Chips & HyperThreading

     
    Prescott Chips & HyperThreading - I'm starting research on doing a new pc build and I keep seeing Prescott P4s and hyper threading mentioned. I have no clue what these are. What do they do, what advantages do they provide?

    Prescott CPUs are the P4 E's... The only things I can tell you is that they have a 1MB L2 Buffer... They do not over clock well... I have a 3.2Ghz E. Works extremly well with Adobe Video products Mine runs Very hot @ stock speeds. 55 C' Idle 70 C' Full load. Hopefully someone else can really tell you the differences.

    the prescott is the E version of the P4 processors and is the core of the socket Ts as well
    The northwood is the old core, it also had hyperthreading

    the prescott is slightly slower then the northwood at lower speeds but it can scale and overclock higher, some say they run hotter but from what i have seen that is just the samples reviewers first got

    the hyperthreading in the prescott is supposed to be improved but i don't know if the benchmarks taken had it enabled or not
    Hey who turned sigs on?
