Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition

These are mucho expensive but what does having 2MB of L3 cache actually mean performance wise and basically what is the full story behind the extreme edition.

Thanks
Richard

    P4s are a joke

    Dont bother with a P4EE, theyre an outdated technology. Get an Athlon 64-FX if you want a REAL good CPU that youll need to trade your car in for.

    Thats all fair enough but i'd still like to know about the P4EE. Not saying Im going to buy one just want to know about them. As I do intend to buy an AMD 64 soon.

    Extreme Edition == Marketing crap

    My Pentium M CPU also has 2mb L2. I don't really know what the advantage of it is, it should be faster or something, but I really don't know what to compare my CPU with. It can play 10mbit HDWMV files perfectly, and microsoft recommends a P4 3.0ghz or something.

    cause everyone is biased agianst intel
  • BODBOD
    no. becuase intel are expensive and slow (well the newer products)

    But no one has any evidence to back their opinions?

    Intel's future is the Pentium M. :)

    Which is still at insanely low clock speeds, like apple computers~!

    You want evidence? Go find some benchmarks, look at the price of a P4 EE, then compare to an Athlon 64 Socket 939 chip.

    Also look at thermal output and power consumption. :)
    Im not going to prove someone elses opinion. You do it.
  • BODBOD
    so tom is going to go buy a P4EE that costs like 3x as much as his A64 *system* then?

    Oh please. If you're going to be a n00b like that, then don't even bother replying to the CPU-related threads. :P

    A Pentium 1.8 GHz M absolutely pwnz a 3.0 GHz P4.


    I'd rather go with a mobile Athlon 64.

    LOL, wasn't the MHz myth proved insignifigant like 5 to 7 years ago? Wow.

    Then WTF are you complaining about? I know the facts, and I'm stating my opinion as a result of that. If you don't believe the opinion, you are free to go find the facts yourself. I won't hold your hand, because whether or not you believe me is irrelevant to the facts.

    Agreed. :)
    If you really *cared* about your opinion then you would. So obviously it doesn't matter much and im not going to worry about it :).

    lol, Tony (NoNothing usr name) was goign to get the desktop XPS. I put together a part by part listing and showed him that you can build like 2 XPS's for the cost of buying one. He wound up getting an XPS laptop, which though it's a Dell and an Intel, is more reasonable than the XPS desktop. Though I'm sure he has no need for all the features of it.
