Development Workstation Performance
The AMD line of processors are in no danger of loosing their advantage when it comes to software compilation. Even with its improvements to its branch predictor, the increased cache latency and longer pipeline take a hard hit in this benchmark.

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.
