SAN FRANCISCO--Intel plans to come out with a new version of the Pentium 4 next year and to push a slate of initiatives to make computers and phones sleeker and smaller.
The next version of the Pentium 4, code-named Prescott, will enhance desktop performance through hyper-threading, among other changes, Intel's Louis Burns, vice president of the Desktop Platforms Group, said at the four-day Intel Developer Forum here. Burns also demonstrated a 4GHz Pentium 4, which should come out sometime next year.
Prescott was among a number of announcements Wednesday. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel also discussed improved power-management technologies that will come with Pentium 4 notebooks, expected to debut March 4, as well as integrated processors for next-generation cell phones.
Hmmm.... Smaller, Faster, Wireless networking, more compatible, sounds like a winner to me! Technology, it just keeps getting better!

But the question is: Will it offer performance?
I still cant understand how Intel continues to make chips that are clocked faster and cost more than AMD chips that perform better, are clocked lower and cost less.

According to the article it will speed up how the processor communicates with graphics processors, network cards, printers and other peripherals, thereby increasing performance.
