Re: Intel to Reduce Supply of Pentium 4 CPUs with 400, 533MHz QPB

That should keep Athlon XP ASPs from falling as more Athlon 64s are shipped.

Pentium 4 SSE3 processor 2.80GHz with 1MB L2 cache, 533MHz QPB, but without the Hyper-Threading technology.

(From http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/20040102093335.html)

Interesting. That would help to keep Prescotts thermals within reasonable envelope.
And it would explain selling Prescotts and Northwoods @ same clockrate for the same price.

K.

p.s: Aha. Shortages of entry level P4-CPUs. Hmm. Well, i think, i mean, you know - theoretically, if Intel would look for an explanation why it will be using Prescott-Dies for this segment as well... ;-)
Honi soit qui mal y pense.
