Intel's Pentium 4 E: Prescott Arrives with Luggage

DirectX 8 Performance
Unreal Tournament
The high end Athlons are able to keep the Pentium 4 EE CPUs at bay in Unreal. It is also apparent that there is some increasing difference between Northwood and Prescott in this Benchmark.
When we look at the botmatch scores, we see the same trend continue.
Warcraft 3
This is the first game benchmark in which we see Prescott pull ahead of Northwood. Granted, the preformance delta isn't very much, but we can still see the evidence of Intels push to prepare for higher clock speed ramping.

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.
