To help compensate for this slower performance Intel have doubled the size of the L1 cache to 16KB of the Pentium 4 Prescott and doubled the L2 cache to 1MB along with enhancements to the branch predictors which also use less die space. The net result is to try and keep the same performance as the Northwood core which this is basically an update.
