I wonder what this will end up going for.

[afireinside]

By the time the winner gets it (if he/she even does :p: ) it will be out over here....

[FUGGER]

Actually a good deal since they pay for shipping.

Its already sold and resold.

[Blind_GI]

Fugger when are you getting your hands on a Prescott (I know you get it early because of what you do)?

Im very curious to see some results from one of these :)

[Geforce4ti4200]

isnt it illegal to sell one before they are officially released? also im thinking he doesnt actually have a prescott yet and will say "we will soon have them in stock"

[charlie]

The screenshots show the 1.0mB cach and the "prescott" core...he obviously HAS it!

[FUGGER]

I can release info when NDA is lifted, if I were to post scores or state specific changes in current core rev I am liable. I do not wish to suffer the wrath of Intel nor jeopardize my developer status.


Geforce, I sent a email off to the seller. you might be right and Ill keep you guys posted.

[JeffPH]

i have seen them :)


its a tray type i might have one next one for testing :) ill keep u ugys posted

[st0nedpenguin]

Performance comparable to a P4 3.2C.

Isn't that just a tad optimistic?

[althes]

really otimistic.
I really want to see what these capable of. I may pick up one later in the year.:D

[Tedinde]

Sold My 3.2 about an hour ago. hurry up prescott. I hope it shows up on the IPD program @ intel for cheap!!!

I picked up a 3.0c for cheap while i was there searching. and a 2.8 celeron, no laughing please. for my shuttle HTPC box.

[JeffPH]

[Blind_GI]

[JeffPH]

Uh Prescott is being officially released in 16 days...:stick:

[Geforce4ti4200]

so id assume NDA expires upon offical release, if not then anyone showing their performance faces the wrath of Intel

[skate2snow]

Just by surfing ive seen that pratically all MOBO support the Prescott

[Bennah]

I cant wait for the prescott to come out and to see what it does!

I have just bought a AMD setup but gunner upgrade to the prescott in march/april time, planning on buying a 2.8 as I cant afford anything higher as I am only a college student :)

[kommando]

/me saves up money for chip
/me saves up more money for motherboard
/me loses money and dies

Thats what would happen if i bought this chip...

Heh better stick with my barton i think.

-Kommando aka Nick-

[Bennah]

If I were to buy this chip, I would have a smile a wide long after I see the reults from a 2.8P and a MX420!

[Iridium192_217]

I'll just wait until February 2
