Intel Prescott IA32 CPU is the 0.09micron successor to the Northwood core of the Pentium 4 due in Q4 (October 26th?). Prescott is expected to launch at clock speeds of 3.2 and 3.4Ghz, and will initially run on an 800Mhz (200Mhz Quad Pumped) Front Side Bus. Prescott features a number of architectural improvements, including larger 1Mb L2 and 16Kb L1 caches, an improved branch predictor and pre-fetcher, an extra 13 instructions for accelerating media applications and improved Hyperthreading (due to two of the additional instructions centred around thread synchronisation). Prescott is expected to scale up to 5Ghz on a 800Mhz FSB and >5Ghz on the forthcoming 1066Mhz FSB speed.
Bemærk at det ikke er sikkert at Prescott vil blive kaldet Pentium 5 og Tejas for Pentium 6
