[ 06/17/02 | by FastSite]

We reviewed the new Celeron processors working at 1.7GHz and 1.8GHz based on Pentium 4 architecture,i.e. on the "cut-down" 0.18micron Willamette core aka Willamette-128. In this review we dwell not only onthe features and performance of the new products, but also discuss the general situation in the budget CPUmarket.

AMD Athlon XP and 166MHz FSB: Why Not?

[ 05/21/02 | by FastSite]

Intel has already moved its Pentium 4 to faster processor bus. We decided to figure out if it could reallymake sense to introduce a faster 333MHz processor bus in AMD Athlon XP processors. What performance gaincould we obtain in this case? See actual testing results of a modified AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU!

New Intel Pentium 4 2.4B GHz with 533MHz Bus against Predecessors and Competitors
