Subject: Which Intel Core is better for Chess

Below is some infor on Intels Processors .. I just found that the processor i
thought i had was not the Prescott core .... So i am wondering should i keep the
Northwood core. I am only worried about playing chess.

The internal architecture is where the Prescott really differs from the previous
Northwood core design. The most prominent change has been to double the cache
levels, where the Prescott core features a full 16K of L1 cache (8K for the
Northwood) and a full 1-MB of L2 cache (512K - Northwood). There are other
smaller changes, such as the 8-way associative L1 cache of the Prescott (4-way
associative for the Northwood), while the 1-MB L2 cache retains the same 8-way
associative format as the Northwood. The Prescott core is built upon a 90nm
(0.09-micron) process technology, and will allow Intel to increase clock speeds
and lower core voltages more significantly than the older 0.13-micron Northwood
core would allow.
