Extreme edition af Intel P4.

Extreme edition af Intel P4.
Lostcircuits har fået fingrene i en spændende P4 Extreme edition med 2 MB Level3 cache samt 178 millioner transistore.
Til sammenligning har den oprindelige P4 Nordskov core kun 55 millioner transistore.
Extreme edition versionen køres igennem alle tænkelige benchmark tests, her er virkelig en grundig test. Ydermere laves der også head to head test mod en Athlon FX-51.
There are other applications, file servers, web servers will profit from more cache. The idea behind that is that on any given day, there will be one or two hot topics and, thus, 95% of all data accesses will go to 2% or less of all data. If the cache is large enough to hold those 2%, it will provide a huge performance increase. It will get critical, however, if the cache is getting too small to hold all data and, therefore, has to be evicted in order to make space for new information.
