What is the difference between these two Pentium Chips?
 

I am going to buy a new chip tomorrow but i could not find any info about this on Intel page.

Both are Intel Pentium 3.2 GB, but one is prescott and the other is no-prescott, so what is the technical difference between both chips?

The prescott one is 100 dollars less than the no-prescott.

PENTIUM IV INTEL 3.2G BOX 800 PRESCOTT

and

PENTIUM IV INTEL 3.2G BOX 800

Any advices or info appreciated.

Cheers.

The fucking pin count could be an issue... heh.. just GUESSING here...

Stop stealing my thread dominance, Juicy

should both be 478 pins.

prescott is slower than northwood at lower frequencies, but I think the 3.2ghz prescott should be good. It uses the 90microns instead of 130microns size, which means more transistors and more heat.

I am out in a few to watch american chopper. You can have dominance for the next hour or so :winkwink:

478 pins? No, you titburger.

Fuck. My granddaddy is on one of those shows, it's mid series, something about the 'Bulldog Bucks' bunch of fags. I cant' remember

according to those links, the prescott is a better version of the P4..

what i don't get is that the prescott is U$S 100 cheaper than the P4

bump....

thanks i was curious about the difference

get a amd

I think you meant 3.2 Ghz

regardless.. the Prescott is boasted to be faster.
Intel raised the L2 cache from 512KB to 1MB
the new chips include new instructions--called SSE3--that should improve the chips' performance on 3D rendering and complex mathematical calculations

and made it less expensive to produce.
