The Tech Report ha pubblicato un'approfondita recensione della nuova cpu Intel Pentium 4 e del chipset Intel i850; trovate l'articolo a questo indirizzo

In order to clarify where things stand, let's separate for a moment the NetBurst microarchitecture from the 1.4 and 1.5GHz Pentium 4 chips. The current P4 chips are a good initial implementation of NetBurst, and they give us a sense of how Intel's new microarchitecture performs. But the present P4 chips are just the first of what will no doubt be many incarnations of NetBurst.

Based on what we've seen here, the NetBurst microarchitecture is pretty nifty. When manufactured on the same fab process as the P6, it easily runs at 50% higher clock speeds. It's fast in some very good ways, and slow in generally less performance-critical areas. Intel's NetBurst-based product line is likely to ramp very well to high clock speeds, and do so quickly. The 2GHz barrier could fall not much more than a year after the 1GHz barrier was breached. If all goes as Intel hopes it will, NetBurst-based processors ought to thrive, performance wise, as clock frequencies go up. Only time will tell, of course, but NetBurst gets a cautiously optimistic thumbs up.
