First P4 Prescott sSpecs...

The first P4 Prescott sSpecs here...

How are "sSpecs " better than normal specs like on the main AnandTech website?

I'm not going to give the linked ".gr" site my ever-so-valuable traffic without a better reason than a double-s

The S-Spec, meaning the processor info.

Eg: Pentium-4 2.4Ghz SL6Z3 is a highly sought after overclocker, compared to the 2.4Ghz SL6WF

 

[DaveSimmons]

Oh yeah, thanks! I've seen S-Spec before but never as sSpec. And I don't pay attention to them since I'm too lazy to overclock

Why go to some greek forum when you can go to Intel?

omicron(that's greek too ) I made this matrix just to be easier for us to see the steppings. The site of intel I think is wrong about the core steppings it's not C1 but C0.

That is pretty ballsy to say the company who makes them is wrong about the stepping...LOL!!!

The Dev team has absolutely no say in what goes on the website.

There have been errors before.

OK....Then SOKI in your wisdom as I assume a non-Intel cpu engineer or employee how would you know this??? What is your proof or evidence to claim this is wrong???? Can't just make a statment like that but need to back it up....

Read this please.. ftp://download.intel.com/design/Pentium4/specupdt/24919945.pdf

By the way it's not so difficult to understand that is a typo error, C1 used to be an old northwood core stepping.

"C1" isn't exclusive to Northwood (or any other processor.) As steppings change, they go through a progression starting with 'A'... When only a portion of the stepping changes (i.e. one mask change), then the number increases. If there is a C1, then there was a C0 prior to it. (Keep in mind that not all steppings and revisions go to retail.)

It's a typical recipe for any processor and stepping numbers repeat themselves with different processes.

So you are saying that a nortwood and a prescott has the same core stepping?

No, I am not saying the steppings are of the same design... Just of the same name.

Intel's web site now report the right core stepping C0. Have a nice day everyone...

Those are all 1 meg cache chips.

looks like Prescott to me I wonder how well they overclock .

IN a recent comparsion test the northwood out performed the prescott in almost every test but intel will get it ramped up than look out. Not to change the subject but I have noticed that the P4's from malassia don't overclock as well as the one's from Porta Rico. GO figure
