Intel will soon be releasing the 3.8GHz P4. The other good thing is that Intel will be focusing more on chip performance than clock speed in newer CPUs. As you may realize, the Pentium 3 at the same clock speed would be a great deal faster than the P4.

The chip will offer an extra helping of clock speed for high-end PCs, as Pentium 4 chips are now only available at speeds of up to 3.6GHz. But the 570 will likely be known more for its place in history, because it will, in a sense, represent the end of an era for the chipmaker. Intel focused for years on driving its PC processors' clock speeds higher, but this year it began focusing more on other elements that augment chip performance.
