Pentium XE 955 features practically ALL latest advances of this manufacturer: except for the clock, PXE 955 has a 1066-MHz bus as well as 2 (2!) MB L2 Cache per each (!) core. In fact, the resulting monster is sort of an extremum of NetBurst architecture in general. It’s hard to figure out further possible roads of its development: well, at maximum, the clock will be raised by another 266 MHz, getting maximum close to the clock peak of single-core CPUs based on the same core. That is, considering the accented removal of Intel 4GHz CPU from roadmaps, Pentium 4 eXtreme Edition 955 will have only one heir even theoretically. If it will at all. Thus, today we either witness the performance peak, which NetBurst can provide in its perfect dual-core modification, or it’s the very pre-peak. We shall carry out our today’s tests relying on this assumption.
