Intel has recently introduced a bunch of new products. Between them is the highly awaited Northwood series of Pentium 4 CPUs that sets a new speed record at 2.2GHz. But Intel's efforts to popularize the Pentium 4 also pass by the new i845D chipset that supports DDR-SDRAM memory. They have also released a new Celeron clocked at 1.3GHz for the mainstream market. We have spent hours to test those latest Intel products and the following review is the fruit of our hard work. The review explains the difference between Willamette and Northwood Pentium 4 CPUs, includes a complete roundup of Intel's latests CPUs with tons of benchmarks' results for you to dig in. Be sure to check it out! Below is a snippet from the review:

To kick off 2002 Intel has introduced the fastest processor on earth in terms of frequency, the Pentium 4 2.2 GHz. Every tech geek was waiting for Intel to release the long awaited “NorthWood” based Pentium 4 CPUs since it adds some welcomed enhancements to the P4 architecture as we will see in this review. A few months after reaching 2 GHz Intel breaks the speed barrier, thus setting the bar higher. The Pentium 4 2.2 GHz comes with exciting new enhancements like the 0.13µ engraving process and 512 KB of L2 cache memory that provide an unprecedented level of performance for day to day computing. Coinciding with the launch of the NorthWood CPUs is the massive availability of the i845 B0 stepping chipset which supports DDR memory: motherboards built around this new chipset are already leaders since the i845 B0 features the best price/performance ratio.
