This was ONLY true for the very first P4's that were 1Ghz. I forgot exactly why that was the case, but it didn't remain that way for very long. The very next process change on the P4's changed that.

You are wrong.
Even the Northwood & Presscott Pentium 4 chips were slower Clock for Clock against Pentium 3 CPUs.

The reason Pentium 4's were so fast, and able to OC to 4ghz with ease was to make up for their lack in efficiency.

This is also why Socket A lasted so long. They were very efficient and could clock fast. So they were faster than the Intel Chips.

Why is no one talking about the 3.33GHz i7!!?? I wanna hear more about the i7!!!

Is it just me? The codename just makes me think of Logitech speakers.

Already out since last year. Atom 330. Dual Core with Hyperthreading

but this is one core and win sees it like 2-core, same like in i7 win see it like 8cores, am i right??

or we have real 2x1.86GHz??

i plan to buy netbook but i need smth that will have good perfomanse.

What the heck are you talking about?
2 cores means two cores, not one core and hyperthreading.
What i7 will see is 8 threads not 8 cores.

than my next question will be is it avilable in netbooks??

Probably not for a very very very long time.

Yes that is what we are saying because it's true. The biggest reason for this is the super high 20 stage pipeline of Willamette and Northwood. For Prescott Intel increased it again to an astonishing 31 stage pipeline. This is why Northwood is faster clock for clock than Prescott in cases where the extra L2 cache doesn't overcome the higher stage pipeline. The P3 has only a 10 stage pipeline. By the way, there was no P4 1GHz. They must have underclocked it in that review to show the clock for clock comparison. I believe the lowest model P4 was 1.3GHz.
