Intel Pentium 4
Currently, Intel's lineup has been quite stable in all the 5xx, 6xx, and 8xx series. We did notice the Socket 478 3.4GHz Extreme Edition [RTPE: BX80532PG3400F] skyrocket significantly, going up an outrageous $156!
Just like our last price guide, we still cannot recommend the 6xx series over the 5xx. We aren't seeing much of an improvement going from the 500 series to the 600 series. We'll have to wait and see what Intel will have for us next time around.
We did notice that the Pentium 4 670 [RTPE: BX80547PG3800F] had dropped about $30. It is certainly not the lowest price that we've seen for the 670, but nonetheless, it is a decent decrease in price.

"One of the 64-bit Semprons that caught our attention was the 2800+ Palermo core with 256MB L2 cache"A processor with that much cache would catch anyones attention :)

Okay, fixed now - I thought someone had already corrected it. Though, I'd really love such a CPU for that price. :DMikeyJ79 - Saturday, October 29, 2005 - link
Those 3800+ and 4000+ processors are looking more tempting by the week, though I would probably still get a cheaper model at this point. That socket 754 3700+ at ~$178 looks like an interesting buy for someone already stuck on that socket. Soon there may be the Mobile 4000+ with the Newark core which would be nice for current socket 754 users who are able to use it in their desktops. I doubt the price for it would be all that welcoming, however.coomar - Saturday, October 29, 2005 - link
the new skt 939 opteron's are creating an insane buzz, the better ones are doing 3.0+ ghz on airkmmatney - Saturday, October 29, 2005 - link
Has anyone tried a mobile Sempron with 1 MB cache:http://www.shentech.com/smn3000bix2ba.html">http://www.shentech.com/smn3000bix2ba.html
Looks very interesting....

I wonder how they got one of those? ....LOLTo their credit, though, they get the cache spec right further down in the listing. A 1MB L2 cache would mean it's not a Sempron anymore! :P

I'm reall tempted to get a mobile Athlon 64 - 1 MB cache for around $100. Are there any benchmarks anywhere for the mobile Athlons used in a desktop?
