Intel P4 506 EM64T Ready

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

Intel Corp. on Friday disclosed plans to enable 64-bit processing capability
on a low-cost Intel Pentium 4 processor clocked at 2.66GHz. The chip is
likely to be priced well below $163 and enable very low-cost computers with
Enhanced Memory 64 Technology. The move outlines Intel?s strong support for
64-bit capability in x86 desktop processors. Intel Pentium 4 processor 506
will be clocked at 2.66MHz and will include 1MB of L2 cache. The chip is
expected to replace Intel Pentium 505 processor that has the same
clock-speed and amount of cache, but does not have EM64T as well as Intel
Hyper-Threading technology. Intel did not indicate whether it plans to
enable the Hyper-Threading on the Intel Pentium 506 chip. The new product is
expected to be 533MHz processor system bus LGA775 infrastructure compatible,
but a new BIOS for a mainboard will be needed to take advantage of the
EM64T.

Intel will initiate supply of the Pentium 4 506 processor on the 27th of
May, 2005, whereas mass supplies are scheduled for the 10th of June.
