Default Intel Updates Plans Again: Adds Pentium 4 EE at 3.40GHz and Pentium 4 at 3.40GHz

Looks like Intel may get another last gasp from their 130nm Northwood.
Is Intel having problems rolling out Prescott?

Intel Updates Plans Again: Adds Pentium 4 Extreme Edition at 3.40GHz
and Pentium 4 at 3.40GHz into the Roadmap
Prescott and Nortwood to be Priced Equally in Q1 2004

Intel Corporation has reportedly reformed its CPU roadmap once again,
adding some more powerful 0.13 micron processors, but staying rather
tight-lipped concerning the higher-end 90nm CPUs ramp up in early
2004.
Sources close to Intel are reporting about two new microprocessors for
Socket 478 infrastructure to emerge in the first quarter 2004. The
first processor will be Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition at 3.40GHz
with 2MB of L3 cache, the second one will be the Intel Pentium 4
processor at 3.40GHz with 512KB of L2 cache. Both chips will be
produced using Intel's mature 0.13 micron technology and will feature
800MHz Quad Pumped Bus being compatible with existing i865 and i875P
infrastructure.
At the same time – presumably in Q1 2004 – Intel is projected to also
roll-out its Pentium 4 processor with SSE3 technology (Prescott)
processor at 2.80GHz with 1MB of L2, 533MHz Quad Pumped Bus and no HT
technology indicated. In the second quarter the company is very likely
to unveil a version of this 90nm CPU for LGA775 platform as well.
The roadmap does not reflect general changes, but also does no longer
claim about the launch of Intel Pentium 4 processors with SSE3
technology at 2.80GHz, 3.00GHz, 3.20GHz and 3.40GHz with 1MB of L2
cache and 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus before the 15th of February directly,
but still has some indirect confirmations about this.
