"If you take the mathematical average thereof, then Prescott is 0.2% slower than Northwood"
-------------------------------------------------------
The above benchmarks will be assimilated, decomissioned.
(Quake and a couple others will be hard.)


Prescott will then be 5% or so faster than Northwood.
Not bad for an engineering sample...at least according to Intel.
