Intel's Pentium 4 E: Prescott Arrives with Luggage

OpenGL Performance
Quake III Arena
This benchmark was run with all the settings on high quality at 1024x768 using vertex lighting rather than lightmapping. We can see that the large cache of the EE processors is a huge benefit here allowing them to post huge numbers. Only the fastest Prescott is able to best its equivalently clocked rival.
Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
Jedi Academy (which is based on the Quake III engine), shows all the prescott processors falling behind all the Northwood processors. For whatever reason, this game is very sensitive to the caveats of Prescott.
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
Also based on Quake III, Wolfenstein show some similarities to Jedi Acacemy in how poorly the Prescott processors do comparative to Northwood.

31 stage pipeline?!.....lol..guess those "30 stage pipelne" rumors were true.These processors aren't bad at all. They performed on the same level as the Northwood versions. They just aren't worth the "premium" price tag that they will carry for now.
Looks like there wont be a better time to grab a Northwwod,
as I'm sure these puppies will keep dropping in price to make room for the Prescotts.
