It was only a week ago when AMD had "released" their Athlon XP 2600+, but Intel has already shot back with a newer, faster and better processor.  One thing that determines this is availability: AMD had "released" their latest, but they would not make it available to the consumer market for approximately one month.  Intel has been quickly climbing the ladder in the processor market with both speed and market holdings.  It is rumored that we will be seeing an Athlon XP 2800+ around Halloween and a Northwood 3GHz by the Holidays.

Northwood specifications:
-512K of L2 cache
-.13 micron
-Voltage drop (less power required than typical P4)
-Socket 478

You can read and see how Intel's Northwood technology has advanced over past months by taking a look at previous reviews:

• Intel P4 Northwood @ 2.4GHz w/ 533MHz FSB
• Intel P4 Northwood @ 2.4GHz
• Intel P4 Northwood

Intel has released four flavors of processors that include:

        2.50GHz (400MHz FSB)
                    2.60GHz (400MHz FSB)
                    2.66GHz (533MHz FSB)
                    2.80GHz (533MHz FSB)
