With a good heatsink it overclocks stable at 2.35 gigs. In a specialized Kyrotech-like case, at -38F http://ubbxforums.ubi.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif, it goes to 2.9gigs; complete stability at 2.8. Unfortunately they did not possess the necessary adapter to test the P4.
Its highly scalable and proportion of increase in performance is excellent. Here is a couple of quotes: "Amazing, mind blowing performance isn't it? Will Prescott's 16 KB L1 cache and 1 MB L2 cache do more than the Pentium 4 EE's 2 MB L3 cache seems to do here? If it does not, a 4.5 GHz Prescott could be necessary to rival a possible 2.8 GHz Athlon 64 FX." " However, the future remains a mystery, as several game developers (Aquanox, Doom III, Half-life 2) indicate that games could benefit much more from Hyperthreading, and Prescott is said to have an improved implementation of HT..."
