Asustek Computer helped shed a little light on Intel's plans for the high end of its desktop processors today as the company issued a press release that discussed its new motherboard and its support for Intel's Pentium Extreme Edition 955.

The Pentium Extreme Edition 955 will come with 2MB of Level 2 cache for each processing core, according to the Asustek press release and Intel briefings from earlier this year. It will support Intel's hyperthreading technology as well as its virtualization technology, and will connect to memory using a 1066-MHz frontside bus.
 
HKEPC did a few benchies, the link is on [H] frontpage. To sum it up, same speed as current proc with same clocks, lower wattage.
