We've just published our review of Intel's just announced new Pentium 4 processor clocked at 2.4GHz. This review comes with extensive benchmarks of Intel most recent processors. For the first time ever on ActiveWin.Com, we have compared the results of an Intel Pentium 4 processor to the results of an AMD Athlon XP. Be sure to read the review and check out the benchmarks to know how this Intel processor performs when facing its competitors. Below is a snippet from the review:

The year has started in brass band for Intel with the introduction of the "Northwood" Pentium 4. Three months later, and a few weeks before launching a new generation of Pentium 4 featuring the highly awaited 533 MHz front side bus, Intel, the Santa Clara micro-processor giant, has just released what can be the latest Pentium 4 processor using the casual 400MHz FSB. Clocked at 2.4GHz, this hot new Pentium 4 is to date the most powerful Intel processor available on the market that uses the famous “NorthWood” core. Intel clearly leads the MegaHertz race since several months and this new 2.4GHz processor confirms Intel's leadership since this CPU has the fastest frequency on earth. The Pentium 4 2.4 GHz comes with exciting specifications like a 0.13µ engraving process and 512 KB of L2 cache memory that provide an unprecedented level of performance for day to day computing as we’ll see in this review.
