Later this year the world will witness the first PC microprocessors made using thin 90nm technology. The currently code-named Prescott CPUs will feature 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus, 1MB of L2 cache and the Hyper-Threading II technology in addition to new set of instructions known as PNI – Prescott New Instructions that are proposed to accelerate processing of streams further. Apparently, the Prescott chips will live through 2004 and will be discontinued only in 2005. What is also very interesting to note is that there are discussions about implementing 1066MHz Quad Pumped Bus and new Prescott “B” core to support the new PSB in early 2005. So, from the present point of view, the family of Prescott chips should look as follows:
- Prescott 3.20GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 3.40GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 3.60GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 3.80GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.00GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.20GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.40GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.60GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.80GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 4.80GHz (1066MHz QPB)
- Prescott 5.00GHz (800MHz QPB)
- Prescott 5.06GHz (1066MHz QPB)
- Prescott 5.33GHz (1066MHz QPB)
- Tejas 5.33GHz (L2=1MB, 1066MHz QPB)
- Tejas 5.60GHz (L2=1MB, 1066MHz QPB)
- Tejas 5.86GHz (L2=1MB, 1066MHz QPB)
- Tejas 6.00GHz (L2=2MB, 1200MHz QPB)
- Tejas 6.13GHz (L2=1MB, 1066MHz QPB)
- Tejas 6.30GHz (L2=2MB, 1200MHz QPB)
- Tejas 6.60GHz (L2=2MB, 1200MHz QPB)
- Tejas 6.90GHz (L2=2MB, 1200MHz QPB)
- Tejas 7.20GHz (L2=2MB, 1200MHz QPB)
