Pentium 5 to ship between 5 to 7GHz, 2MB L2 Cache?

[Detomah]

The Inquirer's slipped out some precious newsbytes about Intel's upcoming plans for their Pentium 5 processor families.

More than the headline statement, it is suggested that the Pentium 5 could offer a 4000MHz FSB. Okay.. we expect no less than ultra-zippy-zippy performance.

DETAILS HAVE EMERGED of the future design of Intel’s Tejas/Pentium V processor, and of how the chip firm will present it to the world.

The chip will sample internally at Intel in January 2004 and will take between four to six months to get to market. The Pentium 6 will follow a very similar schedule.

The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design.

hmm, the p4s are 800 fsb, but have quad pumping. so its only acutally a 200 mhz fsb. i wonder if the p5 will have a TRUE 4000mhz fsb or if its just a 1000 thats quad pumped or something.
