Announce of Pentium 4 F 64-bits

[sxs112]

C'est in an extremely discrete way qu'Intel comes d'annoncer its new range from Pentium 4, baptized Pentium 4 'F'. Engraved in 90 Nm and thus based on the core Prescott, three new Pentium 4 'F' were announced, as one can see it on ...This Page (http://developer.intel.com/products/server/processors/server/Pentium4/index.htm) . It s'agit of Pentium 4 3.20F GHz, 3.40F GHz and 3.60F GHz. All on Socket 775 and given for operation on l'i925X only (even if l'i915P should appear compatible soon), principal improvement of these CPUs vis-a-vis in P4 'E', c'est well on the support of l'EM64T, variation d'Intel of l'x86-64 d'AMD. After Xeon, Pentium 4 thus obtains the functionalities d'exécution 64 bits. Now remain to await the variation 64 bits of Windows, who should not arrive before 2005

Basically, you're saying they are enabling 64bit on their high end prescotts now? And calling them P4F's?

Wish Intel would Pull the proverbial head from the arse, and come up with something to actually COMPETE with AMD...

Funny how they are enabling the 64 bit technology only on Socket 775 chips...what an interesting way of forcing people to upgrade. But then again, I really have come to expect that sort of thing from Intel, and they never fail me...:rolleyes:
