Thanks Melvin for this one. Hardware Extreme has posted a review of the Intel Pentium 4 2.0AGHz Processor.
In this review we are covering one of Intel's newest brainchildren, the PGA-478 Northwood Pentium 4 2.0A GHz. Intel has so kindly provided us with not one, but two chips for review, so we will also be testing for manufacturing consistency. Here's a quote from the Introduction:
"For the past years, Intel, facing extremely stiff competition from rival AMD, has been churning out one new product after another in order to regain its dominance in the desktop processor market. The Pentium 4 series introduced last year, with speeds ranging from 1.3GHz to a whopping 1.9GHz and packing new technologies and optimizations like SSE2, NetBurst and a 400MHz system bus, was marketed with great aggression by Intel but lost out due to the fact that the cheaper AMD Athlon XP chips outperformed them by a wide margin."
