Intel Corp. has added a 0.09-micron process desktop Pentium 4 processor, code-named Prescott, to its roadmap slated for introduction in the second half of 2003.
Speaking at the Intel Developers Forum here on Wednesday, Louis Burns, vice president and co-general manager of the Intel Desktop Platform group, said the new Prescott family will be the first desktop to use HyperThreading to make a single uniprocessor work as two virtual processors.
Burns declined to identity the clock frequency of Prescott when it is introduced. He said Intel will introduce a reference platform for Prescott at the fall IDF Sept. 9-12 to help motherboard makers and OEMs get a jump on developing their own systems using the next generation 0.09-micron chip.
