Northwood Lives On Another Day : Intel’s Pentium 4 3.4 GHz
very good review on the new Intel P4 3.40ghz 512kb L2.

Would be nice to know, how far will it overclock with proper cooling. Seems that Intel added few those components under the cpu, which has seen only in M0 stepping processors before. Maybe it helps overclocking, but who knows...
I wish they didn't lock the multi on their chips :(
lol thats everybody`s wish
to bad they didnt compare it to the 3400+ or the 3200+.....
Yea, I hear you. It would be interesting to see what's underneath that heatspreader.. maybe a failed EE? who knows.:)Quote:

This chip is strange in that it looks like an M0 stepping, but it's from Malaysia. I've never seen an M0 from Malaysia (at least not yet).
Maybe Costa Rica is a little overworked with all the M0 activity lately and Malaysia has to pick up the slack?:)
I tried using Intel Spec finder on the new Northwood 3.4ghz chip to get more core stepping information, but the sSpec number is not currently listed in the database yet. Maybe it hasn't been updated.
They don't put unreleased chips in their database.
Look for it next Monday, or sometime later next week.
Anyone got more reviews on this compared to the A64 3400
Looking between the two chips to see which is the better performer.

:toast:
Thanks for all the reviews. Ive read through quite a few of them.
I mean the difference between a 3.4ghz northwood and a64 3400 is not much i'd say. They beat each other in different tests. I mean the new nforce 3 250 mobos are gonna be out soon aswell.
I'm thinking bout pickin up a a64 3400 + shuttle AN50R and then when the new mobos come out jus grab one of those and keep the cpu.
What your thoughts on the two chips?
AMD = cheap , better with gaming mostly( UT2003, Serious Sam, X2, splinter cell). Good with Arithmetic benchmarks, Super PI, Hexifast, Scientific programs, Primordia, real world applications. AMD has less frequency.Quote:

Intel= expensive, quality, and better with some games(QuakeIII, Commache4, Return Castle wolfenstein, Aquamark3). Good with Audio, Video, editing, encoding, multimedia, Synthetic benchmarks.
Intel have more frequency.
The A64 3400+ is very sweet cpu, performs on par with P4EE 3.40ghz and surpassing in some occasions in games. Just not my cup of tea tho. I prefer mhz, data streaming and internet content creation speed. I do alot of Photoshop stuff and the P4 kills the A64 in that. Because of SSE2, and hyperthreading technology.
Jesus kanavit,
You are always talking about frequency... Do you have any idea how to measure performance? Hint: Frequency IS involved, but not the only factor.
http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/2003...lon_64-43.html Sysmark 2002 - internet content creation , P4 owns the A64 in this application.
. btw, i make a lot of different sigs with Photoshop proggy, and Need SSE2, MHz, and hyperthreading for that. Plus, I watch a lot of NFL videos for data video streaming on the net, so i need a good processor for that.
I'm sorry but that is an extremely lame comeback, and doesn't even have anything to do with "quality" and you know it.Quote:

quality? how come they run HOTTER and need much louder cooling than AMDs then? (even Northwoods) I wouldn't call that quality. ;)
Actually, the arguments on both sides of this thread are pretty lame...
Data streaming on the internet?.... Dont forget intel has netburst to surf the internet faster :rolleyes:
I think AMD-ites got mad becuase the "expensive, quality" bit implies AMD is not quality. They each have there strengths. The fact that they can keep up with a company like the gigantic intel says a lot. I dunno, making cpus is a tough task, enough anomalies as it is... neither can fly-by-night and be atop their game.
Hard to compare cpus like some of the heat arguments listed so far because the companies can be at different stages in the game. Intel is trying to get 90nm right. Tbred A's were hot as hell. AMD isnt going to crank out 90nm's hammers day one.
I don't want to get into strength or weaknesses. Just they're both good and let it die at that. Please jeebus, let it stop at that.
Off topic... Oh well started to suck anyways...
What up Texus Pete?
You from CT? Where abouts? I suppose this conversation should be finished via PM.
ironically , Intel is labeling Yamhill technology as CT. Xeons with CT will be displayed at IDF this month from what i hear.
lol
LT= lagrande technology
HT= hyperthreading
CT= ??? 64-bit

nice graph Petnorth, but those results are a combination of benchmarks and does not portray individual benchmark performance.
Of course, it's an avarage between results in a real life normal session with all these content creation programs ;)Quote:

Page 17 will give you some info....the 3.4C is a D1 core, not an M0, so it's not a reject EE...:cool:

i found this interesting...
SL7CH MO stepping is P4 3.40 EE 2mb cache
SL793 D1 stepping, P4 3.40 512kb
SL7B9C0 stepping, P4E 3.40 1mb L2
The Prescott is using C0 stepping.
didnt fugger or tedinde have a c1 stepping.
Those 3.4GHz NW:s seem to be nicer than I thought. 4017MHz stable with air isnt too bad:
http://kotinetti.suomi.net/oracle/pifast8m_615.JPG
Maybe those chips are selected from middle of waffer or something...
Maybe I should get one of those, because under r404 prommy that kind of processor would be a killer... :D
Well I've ordered one, expecting it Monday/Tuesday :D
when I've burnt it in and the AS3 has settled, I'll see how far I can take it on air with a Zalman flower. I'll be happy with 3.8 (224fsb), if I can run my ram at 1:1 2,2,2,5 :)
I'll post results here.

The 3.4 NW seems to be a good chip. Got mine on Wednesday, let it burn 48 hours straight 235@1.6v on air.
Behaves almost exactly as my 3.2 does in terms of voltage needed for a particular FSB.
Wow, that's 4Ghz on air! What heatsink are you using? How are your temps?Quote:

I hope mine is that good :)
AI7 sp-94 92 tornado outside of case, temps read 33 load 25 idle ambient of 18. The ai7 reads temps weird.
Yeah that's 4.0 on air. I would have pushed it further on air to see where it would go but, that's what the mach2 is for. :banana:
OMG 4.0ghz on air! Enjoy it m8! :)Quote:

That's what they compared against...
This review was rigged and the p4 still lost in the majority of benches. Look at those pathetic timings! They also compared the poor Opteron against 3ghz P4s! What's funnier is the Opteron still kicked some P4 ass!
If you're going to show a review off at least show one that isn't rigged.
Eh, they used the exact same loose timings when testing the P4s:

I don't know what point you're making Kalway, but if you know of a review that covers the top 4 CPUs from AMD & Intel, (and isn't "rigged") then please share it with us.
I don't really care about "brand loyalty" as I'm not a fanboy, I'd just like to see as many comparisons/reviews as possible. I just bought a 3.4NW because I have a P4C800-E Dlx and some good RAM that should compliment it nicely.
My next rig will most probably be AMD 64bit, it all depends what CPUs are available when I'm choosing a PCI-E mobo.
I read that the latest Maximum PC magazine has tested Athlon64 vs P4 3.4, prescott, and EE. And Intel dominated the benchmarks by winning the majority.
well... which athlon64? and what exactly does LT do?

I think you mean LDT or HT.......aka HyperTransport...
Everyone knows that AMD chips respond more to latency than Intel chips. If they wanted to show a real benchmark they would have used memory that at least did 2-3-2-5 and not 2.5-3-3-5. High latencies and AMD don't get along very well at all.Quote:

As far as I'm concerned, no review site does a real, fair comparison.
......you mean in a forum like this, with alot of great guys with totally different rigs, we can't do a comparison :slobber: .........
I said review site. As in places like THG, Anandtech, and *wrenches* [H]. You know there's bound to be an error somewhere or money under the table. Or even just plain fanboyism.
Not at Anandtech. In no way are they biased towards one or the other at all.
I have seen the Northwoods own the AXP's in their benchmarks and then the A64s own the Northwoods which is accurate. They do produce fair results.
Anandtech are pretty much the only place other than XS I trust regarding reviews.

For Christ sake, if they still are going to delay prescotts even more, Im definately getting one of these chips. First distibrutors said 6.2.2004, then 13.2.2004, 27.2.2004 and finally 11.3.2004, dunno what to believe :(
That is funny, I think they are a good bit biased, why else would he be reviewing motherboards with bioses that noone else can get?Quote:

For one, how does that have anything to do with a bias?Quote:

Second, do you have a link to this?
Go look at the review of gigabyte 875 board and tell me what bios he used and what options it had in bios. Then you show me where you can get that bios. I still have the emails from him saying he used engeneering bios on that board.Quote:

So you think using a engeneering bios? which has options not available on any retail bios is not being bias? You should think about that before you hurridly reply.
Oh so you're saying Anandtech is biased toward Gigabyte?
:rolleyes:
Still don't see a bias here.
i think i want one of these processors! has anyone else got any input on the overclockability of this chip?
I like this chip alot. Much better than my 3.2 was. I am not the greatest bencher so the 3mdark could be higher with the proper tweaks. (no tweaks period to the os no volt mods to the memory or gpu or the motherboard even)

I just got it today! :D
SL793 Malay
D1 Stepping
The Intel site doesn't have it in it's database yet.
I got it to 220fsb on default vcore & vdimm but I got BIOS checksum error at 222 :eek: so I upped the vcore to 1.6v and vdimm to 2.85v (will do volt mod soon) and now I have it at 225fsb, 3.825Ghz.
I'm running prime95 atm, bedding in the AS3. Temps are ok, 53c peak in prime95. I'll give it a few hours and then try upping the fsb again.
I'm hoping the BIOS checksum error was just the low ram voltage, and the cpu has some more in it. It seems happy at 225 for now, and I'll be delighted if it does hit 235 (4Ghz) on air.
I'm using a Zalman 6500 AlCu + 92mm fan. The stock Intel heatsink looks really good with a solid Cu core surrounded by Al fins. I might shove it on my Ti4200 and see if it helps mu o/c. I did bench the card at 3.825Ghz and finally broke 16k :) see sig.
My 3.4C chip arrives tomorrow. I´m going to throw it straight under r404 Mach2, and see how it goes :D
Im really looking foward to see if that P4 EE package and extra smd capasitors helps to run northwood at higher speeds.
Uhh dude...you might want to watch the vcore :stick:Quote:

Why? 1.6v isn't that high, lots of people run P4s at 1.7-1.85. Is there a prob with higher clocked P4s?Quote:

I gradually upped the fsb to 230, now running sweet at 3.9Ghz. I think I'll leave it there for tonight and try for 4Ghz tomorrow :D
Even if it won't pass 230fsb, I'm well pleased with 3.9Ghz.
My ram is running 2,3,2,5 @ 460Mhz (was 2,2,2,5 up to 446Mhz)
My 3.4 hit 4.1 on an overclock the first time i tested jus to see where its goin. I havent played with it really. Was sittin at stock voltage when it hit that. Maybe i'll start overclockin proper after a while but ive jus come back from havin rma'ed quite a few parts.
So no hurry.
Some nice numbers u got there m8.....keep upp the good work ;)
I just ordered my self a P4 3,4 "vanilla" and a Asus P4C800-E Deluxe,
I´m gonna start of with everything unmodded on air...and then som voltmodds and throw it in my Mach II.
These 3,4´s seeme to OC very well.
Make sure you get ram that can handle ~480Mhz if you want 1:1 with a 4Ghz o/c. I think my BH5 should handle it, I don't really want to use 5:4 and underclock the ram.Quote:

asim,
Any chance of sharing the cpu stepping, ram & mobo specs with us? Plenty of people are interested in the details, especially when chips hit 4.1 at stock, first attempt.
Sorry thought you had a Prescott...Quote:

Its an SL793 which is 1.55v at stock.
Ive got an asus p4c800-e deluxe and 2x512mb ocz pc3500 ram. Rated 2-3-3-7.
So i had it up at 242x17 = 4.110
Usin 5:4 dividers or 320mhz in an asus bios. Everything else basically stock. Running in the low 30s and even lower.
At stock 3.4ghz i sit at 22c jus here. And it hits 31c at load. So when i overclock theres not much difference. I owe that to my scythe kamakazee, delta at 7v and the chieftec case.
Its a really nice chip.
Sweet!!!:YIPPIE:Quote:

Show me one prescott that primes at 3.8 GHz on air! under 60*C and runs "sweet" at 3.9 GHz :cool:
Top quality stuff, mate that mushkin shines at 3.2V vdimm. Grab a solder iron ;)
Got mine today :D
It Malaysian, week 43 (L343B192).
With stock cooling (+ orginal TIM), and voltages (1.52V) it runs perfectly at 3910MHz (230x17) on unmodded Asus P4C800-E DLX with terrible droop.
Im putting it under r404 modded prommy mach2 tomorrow, and adding few mods for Asus ;)
Those extra caps and P4 EE package seem to increase overclockability. Also temps are lower than my 3.2C had. With same mobo, worse heatsink and higher clocks it runs 10-12c lower temps :confused:
Yea im gettin some seriously low temps with this processor too compared to my old 2.8ghz 533 cpu.Quote:

Dunno whats up with that
Are you guys really talking about Prescotts here?
That sSpec tells me Prescott (SL7xx)...in which case 1.6v is a LOT...
I pointed that out before and the reply I got back made me think its just a Northwood...i'm confused...
Soulburner,
These are Northwoods. The Prescott 3.4 isn't released yet (I think).
Yeah, I need more vdimm. I have vcore back at default (didn't need to raise it at all) but ram won't boot at 2.75v, it needs the 2.85v minimum.Quote:

I got it to 232 stable, but I get prime95 errors at 233 in test #3. I tried upping vcore to 1.65v but it still wasn't stable so I'm leaving it at 230 for now.
Alright, i've just never seen SL7xx used on anything else before.
Yeah..this Northy 3,4:s we are talking about.
Mine is on it´s way...should have it here on Monday.....seeing your sweet numbers makes me looking forward to it even more.
this is also first time ever using an Asus board...so that shoul be an expirience it self... :banana:
NB - Good luck with your new chip and board. I am thinking of getting my gas changed just see how far this chip really will go. So far I can run 3dmark at 260 with a stock mach2.
Stilt, report back what you get with 404.
ok well im convinced. where did you guys score the chip from?
Mines a newegger
and yours does 4.3? man if only i could get my hands on one of those. then i would be happy...yeah, happy.
what kind of cooling you got on that oc rookie?
i threw one of these under my mach II today. set the multi to 5:4 and let her rip had it up to 270fsb, but it was really unstable. 260-265fsb seems to be about the max i can get stable. still testing :D
Yyaaaaayyyy....:banana: :banana:Quote:

Maaann...lemme see thoose 270x17 screenies....something to drool at. :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
This is just B-E-A - uthiful..... love your scores.
I've got a 3.4C
L343B192
01/14/2004
3900MHz ok with prime95 for the moment, stock cooling and stock voltage
I'll test it with my modded vapochill PE
-50°C
3925MHz ok with 1.5v always in air
damn people. do you guys realize that some of you are running at 4.5Ghz! hell thats almost the fastest CPU on the planet. if i had one that did 260 under my Vapochill, i think i would pass out.
someone needs to post some screenies. i need proof before i go spend 4 bills. i would really enjoy a 4.Ghz CPU right about now.
Amen!Quote:

Sounds like Intel really have gotten their high speed NW chips to run like crasy... I've got myself a 3.0C L350**** next to me, but I'm missing a PSU to try it out.
First test with unmodded P4C800-E DLX and r404 prommy mach2:
4200MHz (248x17) 1.55V (1.52V) goes windows like champ, but even slightest load will boot it, cause of terrible droop.
4250MHz (250x17) 1.575V SPI 1M, Sandra etc light stuff stable.
Didnt test further, cause its time for droop mod-
Temps are -38.5C immediately after load. Prommy evaporator goes -61c (calibrated by macci, after r404 mod).
I´ll post some benches after droop mod is done. Then well see whats it made off :D
Here's Sandra at 252. After 4.3ghz sandra, wcpuid, and pcmarks are useless.
Jeezzezs guys..!!!!!!!!!!... you are giving me a hardon with all thoose numbers. :toast: :toast: :toast:
Looks like I woont be using prescott for a while... :D
I can see 4.7GHz,

cpulloverclock: What voltage/temps..did you used/get when benching at 4.6 ...???
cpulloverclock - How in the world do you get sandra to work? Is there a registry change needed to recognize the higher speeds?
By the way, you're frickin sick in the head!!!! Nice overclock!!!
this thread rox.
p!mpin shiz.
maybe ill stop saving for a prescott and start saving for one of these :D
ill wait till a bunch of reviews cum out first of both :toast: :toast: :stick:
-16°C , 1.85vQuote:

Don't want to double post screenies here's the thread.

That is one sweet overclock.
do you find that clockgen allows you to overclock higher because of BIOS limitation?
