Irwindale?

[shinigamiX]

I noticed that the Intel Pentium 4 6XX series have Irwindale, not Prescott cores. However, everyone still refers to them as Prescott. Are they the same thing?

 

[dvdpiddy]

just more intel bullcrap

huh? what have i missed? as far as i know every 5xx is based on codename prescott, 6xx is prescott 2M and 6x1 (65nm) is cedar mill. so what is this irwindale buisiness?

Where you getting Irwindale? My 630 shows as a Prescott core with CPU-Z...

 

[hashv2f16]

who knows... maybe its just some random prescott revision they released along with the cedar mills. why they have to give the [same?] core a new name i do not know

 

[Scout]

Nah... Wusy's right, Intel just calls 'em Irwindale, they are just the Prescott core with the larger cache.

Hi there, people!


Like wusy said (i'm sure he doesn't need me to corroborate his affirmations!), "Irwindale" has the same architecture as "Prescott" and few differences as well, like a bigger L2 cache, some smaller [registers] tweaks inside and uses socket 604...


Cheers!
