Intel Australia has followed the US lead and cut prices on its Pentium 4 and Pentium 3 chips to make way for new processors that will appear over the next few weeks.
Intel has released its latest Pentium 4 upgrade, a 2.8GHz processor. The company has compared the chips to a 500MHz PC, claiming it runs more than four times faster.
Intel is acting to calm fears that technology in its Pentium 4 processors will allow hackers to steal passwords by reading 'footprints' in the cache.
Intel will increase the speed of the chipset on the Pentium 4 in the coming months, a change that will likely boost the performance of top-end PCs.
A possible glitch with the processor throws a wrench into the company's plans to bring out new silicon for high-performance chips for top-of-the-line PCs.
Despite Intel's protests, it appears that a Pentium 4 desktop processor can be effectively used in a laptop computer--which, if done correctly, could save some buyers hundreds of dollars, according to testing by ZDNet UK Reviews.
A possible glitch with the processor throws a wrench into the company's plans to bring out new silicon for high-performance chips for top-of-the-line PCs.
Welcome to the start of another confusing round of changes in systems that always seems to accompany major Intel CPU and chipset announcements.
Intel plans to bring the Pentium 4 to the notebook market early next year and will follow a year later with a new portable chip the company says increases battery life.
An anomaly with the processor that delayed its debut has been permanently fixed, the chipmaker says. Meanwhile, the company slashes prices on some mobile chips.
If you thought 3.06 GHz PCs were fast, get ready for Canterwood, Intel's new chipset that further boosts the performance of Pentium 4 processors.
