Odd Intel future steppings discovered

OVERCLOCKERS.RU has picked up on an Intel product change notification (PCN) that the chip firm released on July 30th.

But not only did the PCN talk about different packaging, it also contained processor product codes that Intel hasn't yet talked about.

These include a mix of Pentium 4 XEs using a 1066MHz front side bus, Northwood LGA steppings, and some socket 478 Pentium 4s and a 3.8GHz chip.
