The successor of the first generation dual-core desktop processor Pentium D 800 has been in mass-production for well over three months. Today, Intel announced the flagship of the upcoming second-generation Pentium D 900, code-named Presler: The Pentium D 955 rings in the transition from a 90 to a 65 nm production process and the final stage of the aging "NetBurst" architecture.
The new processor will be shipping by mid of January and will be the only chip of the series with a 1066 MHz FSB and Hyperthreading capability for four virtual processor cores. "Regular" 900s will just offer two cores and an 800 MHz FSB, according to sources. Dynamic frequency scaling (Enhanced Speed Step) is supported only the common 900-series processors, but not by the performance-tailored 955 model.
