stubear--looks like it's a new release:
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040516122935.html The first microprocessors with the new XD and AAC capabilities described by Mr. Otellini are likely to come in Q4 2004. The first such processor is expected to be the Pentium 4 processors “Prescott” 3.73GHz produced using 90nm process technology with 2MB of L2 cache. |
