Intel is expected to announce a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 on Monday at $637 a pop.

And it is believed that ATI will unveil its latest Pentium 4 chipsets on the same day.

The new processor will support a 200MHz frontside bus quad-pumped for an effective 800MHz frequency. It will contain 512KB of on-die L2 cache and be produced using a 0.13 micron fabrication process.

Its price should put the new P4 well above the current top-of-the-range model, the 3GHz chip, which is priced at $437, according to Intel’s most recent price list.

The Intel Developer forum 2003 is in the full course and we had today the opportunity first of memory bench mark on a system with Intels coming Springdale chip set (i865) with dual Channel DDR400 support to accomplish. As processor a Pentium 4 with 3 GHz and FSB800 was used.

In this connection we raised also Intels new Overclocking features to the course come to let and have the Frontside bus by 4 per cent in relation to the default value of 800 MHz to a clock of 832 MHz. Here the following result resulted:

Already at first sight the result of the Springdale can convince. Our attempt on the issued and on Canterwood system faster for itself bench mark to likewise through-early, failed however because of the safety personnel. If it should permit the time, we will try to lead further tests on the Springdale platform through.

If the results in the very theoretical memory bench mark should be confirmed also in material applications approximately, then the change on dual Channel DDR400 could cause a tidy performance thrust, without having to raise thereby the processor clock actually.
