Intel scraps 4ghz prescott

Unicron · October 15th, 2004

USA Today reports that Intel is scrapping the 4ghz intel p4 processor. Looks like AMD was smart in making a chip that ran lower frequencies and did more per cycle for the long run.

Hmm... Looks like they are running into the limits of transistor based CPU's sooner than expected. I thought intel would at least make it to 6GHZ. Oh, and doesn't that dual core CPU they mentioned intel was working on sound a lot like sony's cell chip, only less advanced?

Any dual core chip is gonna 'sound' like that even tho the architecture is most likely miles apart!

amd has released the new a64 4000+ and fx-55 4000+ recently frm intel's scrapping of their 4 ghz prescott. this was printed in my local newspaper and also said that intel will release a 3.8 ghz prescott sometime in the beginning of next year.
