I'm not going to tell you where I got this information from, since I'd get my @ss kicked if I did so I'm just gonna let you guyz in on a few key features.
- Completely Reconstructed Stepping
- 1.60V Core Voltage
- Increased Amount Of CoreDIE Surface Area
- Intergrated Larger Amount Of Heat Spreader
- Scaleable Architecture (3.06GHz / 3.20GHz / 3.33GHz / 3.50GHz)
- Higher Performance Heatsink In Retail Boxed Verison.
EDIT: HYPER THREADING technology now.

Intel's 3.06GHz Pentium4 is scheduled for a November release.
((2.26GHz / 2.40GHz / 2.53GHz / 2.66GHz / 2.80GHz all use the same architecture (Original B REV1).))
Thats all folks.

wow thanks for the info man.

Yea, Thanks a lot. I hope to see people hitting high speeds with them. I won't be cause I'm always broke but...

i smell some 4GHz and higher o/c's coming :) cant wait!!!

Your super secret information sounds a little different than mine. 3.06G won't need 1.6V. Probably 1.55V. Not that that's a huge difference either way.
4G's would definitely be exciting.

anyone know if they are going to change the socket on them?

WOW Intel must be doing something right, I think November may be the magic month for me to upgrade, (my birthday is in oct, so my parents will dishout some money and by November, should have enough for a p4 cpu/mobo/ram combo :) ) Cant wait!

Would be alot nicer if it wasnt 133fsb and if they went a little higher. Then you would see some real performance gains. Your looking at multi's of 23+. Dont know how the overclocking will be.

thats next year man the 667 fsb chips will be out q1 03 hopefully.

Thats my next chip after the 2.26. Promised my wife after I get some Rimm 4200 and a P4T533 I would be done for the year. But I think I can wait:)

AFAIK, 478 should remain around until the Prescott core comes out late next year. However, most P4 chipsets have issues with high speeds, so I doubt a BIOS fix will let all the P4X266 boards out there do 4+G's.
so the 3.06 and above are still "b" series northys?
the first part of the post said completely new design... but then you tied the 2.26b and others with the 3.06 and above.

23 x 133 = 3059
24 x 133 = 3192
25 x 133 = 3325
and so on........... Yeah its the 133fsb. I dont see much overclocking at such high speeds with the multi's they will have.

I would imagine they'll still be 'b' series -- or 'c' whenever 667 fsb becomes a reality. I'm sure Intel's tweaking their design all the time to make things go a little faster (just like we are). But if it were a completely new design it wouldn't be a Northwood.
What I think DS-Master meant is the 3.06's will be a totally new stepping, which are faster but probably less than 1% of the chip has been modified. That sound right DS?

yeah that makes sense.

Well I have heard the core is actually getting shrunk a little from current standings and may all ready be out. Nopt actually getting bigger!
Check this!
http://developer.intel.com/design/pcn/Processors/D0102322.pdf
It says 5% linear shrink and 10% area shrink!

From Inquirer, they say that the 3.06GHz+ CPUs will have hyperthreading support, so once again, you can see the massive stepping improvement which goes along with more voltage which Intel is using to keep the higher 3GHz+ CPUs stable in all cases.

I got an engineering sample of one of those die-shrunk chips a few weeks ago. It'll run 2.8G stock voltage, but shows signs of instability at 2.93 with voltages up to 1.7V and moderate aircooling. So it doesn't seem they made any speedpath changes, just shrunk the die. I don't know if they're out in the market yet or not.
The present Northwoods are suppose to have the HyperThreading feature already, but is deactivated. :(

wow a 3ghz stock chip careful guys don't want to hurt yourselves! Too bad the chip is going to suck so bad! how much is the multy on that thing? Like 23 right! And how much did the 2.0a's (with multy of 20) overclock? like 500mhz! That's bad!!!! Needless to say that without an up on the fsb... (like 667 :)) those things are not going to o/c very well! oh well i mean eventually we'll get to 4ghz! :D
