Prescott or Northwood?

[derfist]

Which is better and what are the differences?

 

[YourPrinter]

northwood - overclocking
prescott slightly better performance a few more instructions- high heat

Presscot==>L1/12K+16K; L2/1MB, SSE3, 0.09micron


Northwood==>L1/12K+8K; L2/512K,0.13micron

theres alot of issues with the Prescot leaky clusters and heat
i would stick with the tried and true Northwood untill there
PS is fine tuned .

 

[Apokalipse]

the Prescott is designed to run better at higher frequencies
at 2.8GHZ the Northwood performs better
at 3.0GHZ they are about equal
at 3.2GHZ the Prescott performs better

but only prescott supports the new LGA775 chipsets (915p, 915g, 925x)

so, prescott (the new ones) are designed for the future

dude the quote makes you wrong. . .

i said the NEW PRESCOTTS

5-series

they dont have lga775 northwoods

as for your prescott, its an older one

he meant prescott can run 775 and the older socket

while the northwood is only the older socket

you can put a NEW LGA775 prescott in a mPGA478 socket motherboard?
