The Pentium 5 processor will debut this year. The early models will work on Socket 478 systems with 800 MHz FSB (hyper-threading). I believe the first will be the Prescott running at 3.4 GHz. The heads at Intel have commented on the P5 processors probably making it over 4.5 GHz stock by next Spring. Keep in mind that the second wave of P5's will NOT be Socket 478 which means a new motherboard will be needed to run them.
