Intel may have delayed the release of Northwood until next year, but that hasn't stopped Adoli from posting preliminary benchmarks of an engineering sample here and here. Indeed, the L2 cache has been increased to 512K. Keep in mind that this was an engineering sample, and the benchmarks were taken on an Asus P4B (i845 Brookdale). Still, he was able to overclock it to ~2.3GHznot too shabby. Does it look like Intel has a winner on its hands?
