A friend in germany said that a friend from him has got a Intel Pentium 6 from America but does a Pentium 6 really exist in america ???

Thanks ... he said we are very silly because we think that the last cpu from intel is a Petium 4 right ?

No pentium 6.
Intel has a 604 chipset but that is still based on P4 technology.

I don't think there will even be a P5...I thought I read something about Intel chaging to a "Digital" brand name like 2.8ghz dual would be a "Digital 810" or something...or am I looking at something thats wrong. Wouldn't surprise me since I thought that Intel was keeping the Pentium 4 brand name for there next gen CPUs. o'well

well i think they should make it P5, keep with the generation sucession naming.

so far, yes, thats the latest chip.

3.6ghz prescott E0 (or is it EO)?

good question...I'm pretty sure its E0. Since there have been other stepings from Intel like...what was it? M1 or D1 or something.

yes...it is E0 (eee - zero)

he might have gotten a P4 6xx series which aren't due out until Q1 2005...so he may have some really good contacts at intel?

in the P4 world, EM64T and that J mean the same thing.

Wrong.

550J, 560J, etc. means E0 with no EM64T.

3.4F, 3.6F, etc. means E0 with EM64T.

o'yeah...sorry..I hate all these model numbers...and there extra little "letter" added. O'well I looked around and someone said that J was one of them 64bit things and F I knew was one...what happened to the mhz model numbers. :(
