We've already tested what Intel is keeping under wraps until this year's CeBIT trade fair. Imagine a Pentium 4 with a front-side bus clocked at 800 MHz, instead of the standard 533 or 400 MHz. At the same time, the processor family will have some new additions running at 3.2 and 3.4 GHz in order to keep the Athlon XP cowed.
So, what can you really expect from the Canterwood? To answer this question, we put together a Granite Bay motherboard (Asus P4G8X), a modern Pentium 4 processor and one of the most unusual cooling systems around, the VapoChill from AseTek.
