When is Intel going to release newer processor than P4?

I know, but I heard the "double pumping":D is to be extended to more parts of the core than the current P4...double pumped FP units would rock :D.

Sounds like a carburator to me.:D

Personally I doubt Intel will double pump the FPU, especially when it only is presently capable of one SSE/SSE2 instruction being dispatched every other clock cycle.

Some ALU functions are not double clocked so it is always possible more could be.

back to the subject a minute, iparouto, where did you read that Prescott might be named P5? from everything i remember, it will still be Pentium 4. i think there are one or two more enhancements after the prescott which is still going to be named p4. the names Tejas and Nehalem rings a bell.

didn't intel say a while back the P4 architecture and moniker will scale to 10GHz? that's a bit extreme, but i don't think Prescott will have a new name.

here's a good article to read

I've read it on several PC magazines and articles over the net. One of them is here. Nothing in those articles was certain though... Just assumptions... And I cannot ensure you about the validity of the link I gave you, either. It's just one of the several places where I've read that Prescott will be launched as Pentium 5. After reading the article you posted, though, it looks very probable that it will not, since the statement came from the mouth of an official Intel representative.

I guess we shall all be patient and see.

The p4 CORE they figured would scale to 10 Ghz, but that doesn't mean it will be called the P4 until that time. The pentium Pro, the P2 and the P3 were all P6 core CPU's. 1982 286, 1985 386, 1989 486, 1992 Pentium, early 1996 Pentium 2, 1998 P3, late 2000 P4. 3 years between families almost without fail. There should be at least as much difference between the P4 and prescot as there was between the p2 and the P3. Intel likes to give off the perception of making "new" processors.
