ExtremeTech and AnandTech have posted a reviews on Pentium 4 570J 3.8GHz processor. This
may be the highest clock speed we see on any Pentium 4 processor for months, and
it finally gives Intel a direct competitor to the faster grades of the Athlon
64, the 3800+ and 4000+. Here're some impressions:
TechReport:
The Pentium 4 570J is a solid choice for those who simply don't care about gaming, graphics, or running older programs with lots of x87 floating-point math. Right now, though, AMD's Athlon 64 processors offer more balanced overall performance with fewer obvious weaknesses, less heat production, and more frugal power consumption. The Athlon 64 also has a couple of key technology advantages still, including AMD's 64-bit extensions. The Pentium 4 won't gain similar capabilities, in the form of Intel's EM64T extensions, until the P4 600 series debuts early next year
THG:
It may be hard to believe, but yes, Intel's high-end Pentium 4 processor, the 3.6 GHz 560, runs extremely close to its thermal limits, possibly causing the processor to throttle under a high load. That is still the case even today, after this product has been around for several months. Even still, Intel is going to release its faster and probably hotter 3.8 GHz Pentium 4 Processor 570 next Monday.
