PRESCOTT OR NORTHWOOD for a P4 cor

[swker98]

i spellet prescott rong but its besides the point, by the way whats the difference

Prescott's newer and runs hotter than the northwood. Prescott has more processor cache built in. I think the two perform similarly, but northwood runs cooler. I like amd btw.

Edit: To the OP. Why'd you vote for prescott without knowing what it is?

Prescott is a refined P4 core. At the same clock speeds, however, it is actually a poor performed compared to the Northwood cores, and runs a LOT hotter.

It scales higher, however, and so the clockspeeds for it will be higher (i.e. the 3.73ghz cpus). The prescotts can also come with more L2 cache (such as the EE)
