1.4GHz Pentium3 Out in Japan!

[OC-Master]

Intel is once again releasing an even faster version in its Pentium3 series. The Pentium3 1.4GHz with 512KB L2 is said to have the performance of a 2GHz Pentium4 with 600 less MHz.

Intel already has even faster versions of its Pentium3 line running @ 1.46GHz (256KB) and 1.53GHz (256/512KB).

The 1533MHz 512KB L2 Pentium3 is supposed to compare against Intel's 2200 northwood with a simular price and performance ratio.

A 1.53GHz 512KB L2 Pentium3-T would be something

The 1.4GHz Pentium3 cpu is supposed to hit shelves everywhere in US first week of february.

1.53GHz is scheduled for April release.

Are they only Tualatin's?

 

[eh?]

pentium 3 was actually a decent cpu

Yes, they are all only Tualatin cpus based on .13micron technology.

You can even buy a 1.4GHz Pentium3 accelerated to over 1.833GHz and blow away even a 2.2 @ 2.8.
