Wow, this is an amazing boost of cache for the CPU. I wonder how they will perform. The longer pipeline that the P4 carriers coupled with the bigger cache should improve performance by a good amount I'm sure. Intel is also trying to secure the desktop platform from the Hammer of AMD.

The Pentium 4 Extreme Edition will run at 3.2GHz and come with 2MB of level-three cache, said Louis Burns, executive vice president of the desktop platform group at Intel. Current Pentium 4 chips come with a 512KB secondary cache and no level-three cache. Increasing caches, reservoirs of memory located on the processor, typically boost performance.
