Do you happen to know Intel roadmap for CPUs?
What's coming for Intel CPUs? When will Intel cut price on
current ones? I want to get P4 3.0Ghz but it's too expensive. From what shows at www.pricewatch.com, it's only $19 difference jumping from P4 2.0 to P4 2.4 800. But then it's $46 to jump from 2.4Ghz to 2.6Ghz, $49 to jump from 2.6Ghz to 2.8Ghz, and $130 to jump from 2.8Ghz to 3.0Ghz. I'm more willing to buy the 3.0Ghz at about $150;-) --- $394 - Pentium 4 3.0GHz 800 $264 - Pentium 4 2.8GHz 800 $215 Pentium 4 2.6GHz 800 $169 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 800 $159 - Pentium 4 2.4GHz 400 $153 - Pentium 4 2.2GHz 400 $150 - Pentium 4 2.0GHz Sock 478 $112 - Pentium 4 2.0GHz |

If you have around $165 to spend for a processor, then go for
an Athlon XP2800+ 333 instead. An Athlon XP3000+ 400 at only around $260 is a good deal. online wrote: What's coming for Intel CPUs? When will Intel cut price on current ones?

The 2.4GHz is at a nice price-point now... Eventually the 3.0GHz will be cheaper, but then of course we'd all like that next-faster CPU for cheaper too, it's all relative to the timing... The odds are that you won't be able to notice the difference in use between a 2.4Ghz and the 3.0GHz, and if it's any consolation, if you use good memory you'd probably be able to overclock the 2.4GHz to a performance level exceeding that possible with the 3.0GHz. I mean, the max possible performance you could squeeze out of a system, would be higher with the 2.4GHz, due to it being able to use a higher clocked FSB since it has a fixed multiplier. Regardless, if you run a processor a "notch" below it's ceiling speed, it'll be less sensitive to heat, so you could use a quieter cooler. So all in all the 2.4GHz isn't such a bad choice. Dave |

The 2.4GHz is at a nice price-point now... Not really, as an Athlon XP2600+ 333 is only around $100 for the retail box with heatsink.

It wouldn't be that horrible if one must choose an Intel processor. Most people have the choice of choosing an AMD processor instead. Dave |
