Intel Introduces 533MHz FSB CPUs - Pentium 4 2.53GHz

The CPUs

As we mentioned at the start of this story, the two CPUs being announced today are the Pentium 4 2.4B and the 2.53GHz processors. The 'B' suffix indicates that the CPU uses the 133MHz FSB and from this point on you'll only see 133MHz FSB processors available in higher clock speed bins.

The specifications of these processors are identical to all of the other 0.13-micron Northwood based CPUs so we'll just point you at previous reviews for more information:
