A few big news items today. First up is the simultaneous launch of Intel's new Northwood-cored Pentium4 (at 2.0A and 2.2GHz) and AMD's AthlonXP 2000+ (1.67GHz). The 2GHz Northwood chip is called 2.0A because the older Willamette core was also available at 2.0GHz. Anyway, these are of course the flagship high-performance processors from the two giants of the industry. Most sites seem to be reviewing them side by side so it's hard to call one a P4 review and another an AthlonXP review.. so, reviews and comparisons on xbit-labs, GamePC, Tech-Report, VR-Zone, HotHardware, GamersDepot, AnandTech, PC-Stats, HardOCP, Hexus, SLCentral, AMDMB, TomsHardware and.. I think that's it. For now. :)
In case that's not enough reviews of those CPU's for you, JC's News is maintainin an index of reviews of the New P4 2.0A and 2.2 and New AthlonXP 2000+.
Also big news is the announcement of Apple's new iMacs. There was a story on Time Canada that was apparently a little premature and got yanked, might be back by now. More info on Wired. Thanks to a heap of people for sending those in.
