New Socket For Intel Prescott Chips?

    From what I read (possibly incorrect), Intel will also be releasing socket 478 compatable 'Prescott' cores as well as the new ones. Not too bothered myself as I have an AMD system.

    i dont think they'll get rid of the 478 platform yet because they've only just released the p4C
