Intel's 915P and 925X w/ LGA775, DDR-II and PCI-Express [Review, Hexus]
You see it's a lot more than just a socket change. There's new chipsets to consider (three in the consumer space that HEXUS covers, a few more if you count the business sector that we traditionally ignore), the new CPUs that the chipsets power (six on this new socket, all available and announced today), PCI Express for both graphics and sundry peripherals, Intel's High Definition Audio spec, the new SATA controller on the all-new ICH6/R southbridge, DDR-II memory which Intel is pushing hard and a whole lot more, new socket definitely included.

AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 & 3800+: Socket 939 Has Arrived [Review, HotHardware]
Since we last took a look at their Athlon 64 FX-53 back in March, AMD has remained relatively quiet. There was a low profile release of the mid-range Athlon 64 2800+ into the channel, but nothing really new has come from CPU lines at AMD for almost 3 months, which is an eternity in "silicon years". AMD's relative silence comes to an end today however, with the introduction of four new desktop processors and a new socket standard that brings a common infrastructure to the entire Athlon 64 line-up. Standard Athlon 64s and high-end Athlon 64 FX processors will both utilize the new 939-pin socket that officially debuts today. Fri, 11 Jun, 2004 | 50 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Dothan Arrives With A New Nametag : Intel’s Pentium-M 735 [Review, GamePC]
Today at GamePC, we're looking at the first major update to the Pentium-M CPU platform since the original chips were announced. Intel has managed to scale the original Pentium-M CPU's (codenamed Banias) from 1.3 to 1.7 GHz, but Intel's 0.13 micron manufacturing process appears to be tapped out at this point. Now, Intel is getting a new set of Pentium-M processors on the market (codenamed Dothan) which feature clock speeds up to 2.0 GHz, a whopping 2MB of on-die L2 cache, and enhanced processing abilities all around. Let's have a look under the hood. Fri, 11 Jun, 2004 | 138 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
AMD Athlon64 FX-53 & 3800+ Socket 939 Review [Review, Beyond3d]
The Athlon 64 platform has been gaining support in the enthusiast sectors, thanks to it high performance in 32-bit applications and the promise of more to come with a full64-bit OS, however the consumer chips have been split across two different platforms. With the move to Dual DDR on the Athlon 64, both this and the higher end Athlon 64 FX are being unified on a single Socket 939 platform. Beyond3D takes a look at the performance of the Athlon 64 FX-53 and Athlon 64 3800+ on the new 939 platform. Thu, 03 Jun, 2004 | 44 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
AMD's Socket 939 Offers More with Much of the Same [Review, TomsHardware]
AMD has introduced its new dual channel Socket 939 Athlon64 platform just a few weeks before Intel's new architecture launch. Our benchmarks show what AMD's socket 939 brings to the table, with such features as a HyperTransport speed of 1 GHz, and how its performance matches up to its price.

Intel Prescott Pentium4 (800Mhz FSB): Stress tests [Article, Digital-Daily]
The release of new Prescott Pentium4 processors was accompanied by substantial difficulties. Originally, these processors were to appear in 2003, but then the release was deferred until late that year, then postponed again - to February 2004. Every deferral was cluttering with rumors about some technological problems with the new core. Mon, 19 Apr, 2004 | 112 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Athlon 64 FX-53 and 3.4 GHz P4 EE: Premium CPU Shootout [Review, AcesHardware]
The Pentium 4 EE and Athlon 64 FX are both premium, top of the line CPUs and, as such, they are two CPUs which you will most likely not consider when your next CPU upgrade is due. Our recent poll shows that only 0.7% of our readers own an Athlon 64 FX and 0.2% a Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. Nevertheless, there are a few reasons why it is still interesting to compare both them. First of all, this is the top of the line for both companies. Secondly, they could be a very interesting alternative for building a workstation or low end server.

Prescott: The New Pentium 4 Reviewed [Review, AcesHardware]
The new Pentium 4 "E", also known as "Prescott," has arrived. Prescott contains the same building blocks as its predecessor, the "Northwood" Pentium 4, but doubles both cache levels (16 KB L1, 1 MB L2), adds SSE-3 and enhanced branch prediction, and tens of other smaller tweaks. At the same time, a sacrifice has been made on the altar of clockspeed: the pipeline has been increased from 21 stages behind the trace cache to 31 stages.

2500+ Mobile Barton Feature [Review, neoseeker]
The overclocking world was dealt a blow late last year when AMD began locking the multiplier of its top selling chip, the 2500+ Barton. While it is possible to still overclock the trusty Barton core by way of the front side bus it does have limits. An OC of 2.2 on a 2500+, which is equal to 3200+ in AMD terms, is still attainable at 11x200Mhz as long you have a decent board and RAM. However those that like to play with the multiplier to squeeze the juice harder have to look elsewhere now or look at modding the actual chip.

Intel 3.20GHz "Prescott" Pentium IV [Review, MBReview]
When the original Pentium 4 microprocessor debuted several years ago, it was their first x86 microprocessor built from the ground up to debut since the days of the Pentium Pro. From the times of the Pentium Pro onward to that of the Pentium III, all of the processor generations had been built on an ever improved P6 architecture. With the end of the Pentium III and the beginning of the Pentium 4, Intel moved on towards their NetBurst architecture scheme. At first, many did not particularly care for some of the NetBurst architecture’s features, those that many enthusiasts viewed as the weak points. The main aspect that was viewed as an achilles heel for the Pentium 4’s microarchitecture was the length of the pipeline, twenty stages, double that of the Pentium III. Well, "Prescott" keeps on trucking along this line of deeper piplines as it features a massive thirty one stage pipeline! Sun, 22 Feb, 2004 | 88 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Intel Pentium4 "Prescott" [Review, LostCircuits]
Intel is introducing the new line of P4 procesor based on the Prescott core, the first processor manufactured in a 90 nm process. Main features include a doubling in size of both Level 1 and Level 2 cache as well as the increased pipeline to the processor core, now encompassing 31 pipeline stages. At the same time, a number of enhancements in instructions (SSE3) and functions have been added to the execution units. Sun, 22 Feb, 2004 | 104 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

AMD's Athlon 64 3400+: Death of the FX-51 [Review, AnandTech]
AMD's Athlon 64 FX-51 had a very short lived life, the final nail in its coffin being the Athlon 64 3400+ at around half its price and offering all its performance. We also take a more thorough look at the Newcastle based Athlon 64 3000+ and crown a new price/performance leader. And you thought the Pentium 4 2.8C was a great buy...

Athlon 64 3400+ Preview [Preview, AcesHardware]
Last September, AMD introduced its new desktop lineup with the Athlon 64 3200+ and Athlon 64 FX-51. For the most part, what set the two chips apart was packaging (754-pin vs 940-pin), memory interface (64-bit vs 128-bit), cost, and clockspeed (2.2 GHz vs 2.0 GHz). Today AMD introduces the Athlon 64 3400+, increasing the clockspeed of its mainstream Athlon 64 line to 2.2 GHz. Wed, 14 Jan, 2004 | 103 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
