The first Pentium4 EE benchmarks
Well, when I tell you guys to visit us often, I am not kidding :). Drums please, here are the very first Pentium 4 EE results! A big thanks to Markus Weingartner and Kristof Sehmke!
Interestingly, Intel PR confirmed that a BIOS upgrade is not a requirement to run the new CPU. The 2MB L3 cache of the Xeon MP...euh... Pentium 4 EE will be recognized without upgrading the BIOS. This also applies for boards from other manufacturers (besides Intel).
Intel PR just informed that they forget to tell us that there is an NDA date on the Pentium 4's performance. We will bring you more performance data in a few days. Our apologies, but we were not informed of this NDA.
Is this kind of performance good enough to counter the Athlon 64 FX? Well, more hot stuff coming up here at Ace's hardware... Expect 3 new CPUs in our upcoming review!!
