p4 difference

[umybiatch2k6]

wat's the difference between a p4 northwood and a p4 willamette? i'm just wondering. i know they're both 478ers.

the Willamette Pentium 4 is based on the .18 micron process and has 256k L2 cache. It is available in both 423pin and 478pin configurations. The Pentium 4 Northwood is based on the .13 micron process and comes with 512k L2 cache. It is only available in the 478pin configuration.
