  • Pentium D 820 - Dualcore for the Mainstream...half-the-price of the Athlon X2!





    Can we actually discuss this time please...

    And to get some questions out of the way first:

    YES, the E0-stepping Pentium 4 is 64-bit.
    NO, "total system power" is not representative of CPU power draw.

    What's to discuss? It just looks like the D vs the X2 is the same choice people have faced buying PCs for plenty of times...you can pay a lot more to get the absolute best, but it will be a lot cheaper to just get the almost best.

    OTOH I think Intel is taking the right route. Lower cost will get people to actually buy it. I can't name any people who would buy a $1,001 processor.

            Cheaper is good

            Then I might actually be able to afford to upgrade my computer one day
            This space is empty... or is it?

              Well I still have the Pentium 4 3GHz (800) which still seems to be serving me just fine...certainly no need for an upgrade yet although this thing is coming up to it's 2nd birthday...

                I agree, which is why I shamed you when I heard you bought a P4 laptop.
