Attention Gamers: 4.0 GHz "Dream Machine"
Velocity Micro has announced a new range of PCs that will use Intel's dual-core technology. The new computers will use the Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 840 processor and will ship with speeds up to 4.0 GHz and has a tentative release of "Late 2Q 2005". The new dual-cores feature Hyper Threading which allows for faster performance in software that is built to take advantage of threaded technology....although software that takes advantage of threaded technology won't be widely available for quite some time. These new PCs will ship with Velocity Micro's LiquiCool fluid cooling system.
Randy Copeland, Velocity Micro president and founder was enthused about Velocity Micro's upcoming PCs. He said:
"Working closely with Intel's processor teams, Velocity Micro has been a part of the process for some time. We tested early versions of the Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 840 processor and were amazed by its capabilities, particularly when matched with our liquid cooling solution. As one of the few initial product launch partners for this technology, we are very excited to offer our customers this powerful new processor. It's perfectly suited for power users who run several applications on their computer simultaneously, and as more games are coded to utilize the multithreading capabilities of this technology, gamers will reach new levels of immersive play."
This is good news, although there's no need to run right out and advance order one of these machines just yet. Unless your current gaming rig is really old/slow. As mentioned above until software is widely available that fully utilizes threaded technology you won't see a huge performance gain if you already have a "newer" gaming PC.
