ExtremeTech.com pops the question if the Intel CPU Bug does matter. As you know Intel has had problems with the latest 3GHz 800Mhz CPU. Here's a snip:
On Monday, April 14th, Intel announced the 875P chipset, nee' Canterwood. ExtremeTech covered it as news, as well as an in-depth performance preview. However, as Monday morning dawned, Intel also revealed that it had run into potential problems with the 800MHz (effective) frontside bus Pentium 4, which runs at 3.0GHz. Spokesman George Alfs noted that the issue, which isn't yet fully understood, seems to be specific to that Pentium 4 variant; there's no problem with Canterwood running with 533MHz FSB parts.
The obvious question, then, is how do 533MHz frontside bus P4's run on Canterwood? They popped the 3.06GHz CPU into our Intel D875PBZ system in order to answer that question. As a refresher, here's the system configuration used for testing:
