My work has P4's with the NORTHWOOD core in STOCK now!!!

[FalcomPSX]

then again for $490 plus tax, that northwood isn't exactly a great deal...

Hmmmm....good timing now that Intel is starting to use DDR ram!

Well guys,

I benched the 512Kb version today, but I forgot the screenshots.

I will post em tommorrow, but I already can tell ya this.

Judging the outcome of the benchmarks, being sisoft sandra and 3DMark2001, one could swear that it was the same cpu, being the 256Kb version.

Improvement is very little to nothing, in all benches, even the memory benchmark didn't show anything.

Will post tommorrow.

WHOOHOO!!! Pay twice as much for NO performance increase!!!!!!

Sounds like Intel!!!! hehehehe

Ouch! O well, I stopped liking intel after the P-3 (in my opinion their last good chip). What about the XP-1900 benchmarks!

[Ultima]

Well,

the XP1900+ scores well over both P4's 2.0Ghz, like it should, I even clocked mine to 1.73Ghz, which is XP2000+ speed, and it totally annihalated the P4's.

That my good little XP1800+.

Here is a link of one of my benches of my XP1800+ @ XP2000+.
