May 26, 2005: Way Too Early

Looks like today’s big news for Intel Pentium D 820 Dual Core.

Intel’s Pentium D 820 and Pentium 4 670 processors @ TR

“IT’S THE GEEKY equivalent of a conversation that most guys would have about a Maxim girl versus the Olsen twins. Would you rather have a single, very fast CPU or a pair of somewhat slower processors? That’s a tough question, and it’s precisely the one that Intel has prompted by releasing a couple of new CPUs today, the Pentium D 820 and the Pentium 4 670. The P4 670 is the fastest single Pentium 4 processor ever released, running at nearly 4GHz. The Pentium D 820, meanwhile, runs a full gigahertz slower, but it has two complete Pentium 4-style CPU cores onboard for a very nice price.”

Also don’t forget about the budget oriented 945 chipset. 955x may seem great, but from my own personal testing, I hate it so far. Maybe mobo makers just need to release a good solid working BIOS.

So much Intel news… AMD shows up once with their X2 4200+ and slaps everyone around.
