Most modern computer processors, we use Intel processors are. , Directional marketing at elite processors for the PC enthusiasts, the prices of these high-class Intel Extreme Edition (EE) processors are quite unreasonable for most applications we use today. Thus, the majority of end users to access high-end AMD Athlon 64 x2, as an alternative.

Back in the tug-of-war, formally released Intel Pentium Extreme Edition (EE) 955 chips (Intel Presler) to replace the previous version Pentium Extreme Edition (EE) 840. The former is a dual-core processor design with a clock speed of 3.46GHz, compared with its clock speed of 3.2GHz.


In addition, the Intel Pentium EE 955 has its Level 2 (L2) cache memory doubled from 2 MB to 4MB, with the improvement of Front Side Bus (FSB) of 800 MHz to 1066MHz. Like most high-end processors Intel Pentium EE 955 features Hyperthreading technology, which allows the processor to run four separate threads in parallel at the same time. In addition, the new Intel virtualization technology, as well as the 64 - bit EMT64 extensions are supported in this new chip. Approximately, 376 million transistors has been incorporated into the main processor, while operating between 1.2 and 1.33 volts. A power of 130W power supply is required for the processor. With nanotechnology, the chip is manufactured on the basis of 65 - nanometer process, instead of the current industry standard 90nm, which makes it very dense chip to date.

Preliminary tests performed at baseline tester, the Pentium Extreme Edition 955 beat AMD in synthetic indicators, 3D rendering tests, as well as audio encoding tests. At the same time, Athlon 64 X2 4800 + received an even greater part of gaming performance, content creation test, and video encoding tests.

According to Intel, it is said that the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition (EE) 955 will be available on January 16, 2006, $ 999 in the United States. This is expected to coincide with a massive new massive new marketing efforts, which may include the replacement for the familiar "Intel Inside" jingle and logo.
