[geeks] p4 processor spec q

" P4 Extreme Edition is a derivative of Northwood called Gallatin, it has the
" same relatively efficient 20-stage pipeline (rather than the 31-stage pipeline
" of Prescott), with an additional L3 cache, still on a 130nm process.

so - all things being equal [3.2/800, say], gallatin would be fastest,
with northwood and prescott fighting it out depending probably on how
cache-bound the process mix was - right?

sounds like prescott was looking fwd to multicore chips from the
start.

d'oh!  shoulda thunk of wikipedia...

thanks again!
