More CPU's coming for 478-Possibly.

[Kunaak]

personally, after seeing 775 stuff, I could careless about them, especially with the FSB's being so low.

but there appears some hope for 478-maybe.

Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.60GHz

Intel Pentium 4 “Prescott” 3.60GHz

Intel Pentium 4 “Prescott” 3.80GHz processors

also introduce Celeron D in mPGA478 packaging at up to 3.46GHz


one a side note-
it also appears that intel is planning to reintroduce "C" chips to 775....

why?

"In a rather surprising manner Intel also seems to move a number of 130nm chips into its new Socket T infrastructure: the firm plans to release Pentium 4 2.80C, Pentium 4 3.00C and Pentium 4 3.20C processors with 800MHz processor system bus and 512KB of L2 cache"

along with these.

Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors at 3.20GHz and 3.46GHz with 1066MHz Quad Pumped Bus and 2MB of L2 cache.

775 looked to have alot of potential for sometime, till I saw the results, then I could careless.
so for me personally, seeing some new P4 chips coming in 478, just means I can play around with good old canterwoods alittle longer and know I just have a good chipset to play with.

Nice to see some life put back into 478. I heard there will be a 915/925 series of boards from asus that have 478 with pci-e so it looks like 478 is definately not dead.

where did you hear that?

I know they have 865 boards in the 775 socket, so it's very possible they could do it.
I'd just be suprised if they did.

but then again...

socket 478 motherboards, with overclock locks don't sound all that great if you ask me.
the whole reason I am barely interested in 775 is cause of the locks.

while you can still OC ok with them, and possibly reach 4 ghz on air and such, the results are still far from anything the 478's have been capable of.

Looks like good news. Guess I won't have to get a new mobo.

INtel is fighting back.

I found the link regarding i915 and s478:

Good find Kanavit.
I know how I overlooked that...

-a month ago I was still using A64 stuff ;)

thats kinda interesting to see.
I wonder if they can still implement the OC lock on that board.
I know Asus and just about every other board maker has been trying to kill the OC lock cause it's killing thier sales, but that would still be a nice board to play with.

especially if you could get one of them PCI EX- X800XT's that dell is selling :D

Too bad it uses the crappy 848Chipset, but none the less kinda innovative.

Before they were discontinued, most 2.4C chips had a very good chance of reaching 3G on air and low voltage. I'd be very happy if a socket 478 stepping comes out similarly capable of reaching 4G on air. Maybe a Prescott E0 in s478 can do this.

Will motherboard compatibility come into play with Prescotts running on 875 and 865 boards?

Sweet! The NW is still the king! Long live the king!
