Pentium 4 2.4GHz Northwood fix suggestion

[TaPaKaH]

As the 478 experts know, there are 3 types of s478 Pentium 4 2.4GHz Northwood:

"A" model - 100x24, no HT (often referred to as vanilla, i.e. without the "A" letter)

"B" model - 133x18, no HT

"C" model - 200x12, with HT

There have never been any hybrid (133x18 with HT or 200x12 w/o HT) models.

 

As I can understand from here, this is the "A" category, this is the "B" and this is the "C", right?

 

If yes, then a lot of scores need moving.

 

1. From the P4 2.4 "A" (x24 multi) to P4 2.4 "B" (x18 multi) category:

Also, I want to suggest to rename all three P4 2.4 Northwood categories from

Pentium 4 2.4 GHz B Northwood

Pentium 4 2.4 GHz C Northwood (HT)

Pentium 4 2.4 GHz Northwood

to

Pentium 4 2.4GHz Northwood (100 FSB)

Pentium 4 2.4GHz Northwood (133 FSB)

Pentium 4 2.4GHz Northwood (200 FSB)

Reasons being:

1. Stock FSB / Multi being the clear difference between models

2. I've been buying/looking for s478 chips recently - if even most of the PC builders/recyclers can't answer "is it an A/B/C?" question, then normal users will be confused either. Division by stock FSB will be much easier for them to understand which model they have.

[TaPaKaH]

there's a similar thing that needs to be done renaming 2.6/2.8 northwoods too:

2.6 comes only as 100 FSB (x26, no HT) and 200 FSB (x13, with HT) - get rid of the letters and (HT) in the CPU category name and grade them by FSB

2.8 comes as 100 FSB (x28, no HT), 133 FSB (x21, no HT) and 200 FSB (x14, with HT) - not the four models we have in the list now

 

If moderators approve but don't have time then, given temporary rights, I can move the scores to categories they belong ... have too much free time and nothing to bench ATM

[Turrican]

yeah, it's a big mess in those catgories.

[knopflerbruce]

Bumpetybump. I suggest we use the names suggested by Tapakah (with MHz after the FSB numbers), but maybe add the rev. number too, in case people separate these chips that way.

 

I can move scores, but I want to be sure I'm doing the right thing - can you confirm this, Karl?

[Turrican]

yeah i think the best would be to write both, so people don't get confused.

[TaPaKaH]

still nothing ?

[knopflerbruce]

Needed to do some uni related stuff I'll do this late next week This will take a little while

[knopflerbruce]

I'll do this tomorrow need some sleep, this will take a while:p

[knopflerbruce]

Done.

[Turrican]

ok, i'll rename the categories later proberly.
