Northwood — The Pentium 4 loses weight

Intel’s release makes today a bit more interesting than your average speed
bump story. 2. On the current 200 mm wafers (see
below), Intel can now produce approximately twice as many Pentium 4 processors
per wafer than they could on the 0.18-micron process. And although that still
makes it larger than the current Athlon XP core, the fact of the matter is that
the core could have actually been smaller had it not been for one important
performance improving characteristic of the new core.

The Pentium 4 has always been geared for what Intel has been calling the «future»
of computing. While people will argue about exactly what that future will be,
one thing is for sure, programs are constantly growing in size and the discrepancy
between memory speed and CPU speed plays an even more important role as software
becomes larger. Intel’s decision was a simple but effective one; the Northwood
core now features a 512KB L2 cache instead of the original 256KB cache. The
addition of the extra cache raises the transistor count on the Pentium 4 to
55 million, up from the 42 million of the Willamette core.

The size of the execution trace cache has not been changed nor have any of
the other units of the Pentium 4 core, but the increase in L2 cache will provide
a tangible performance increase for most applications especially newer ones.

At the beginning of this article we mentioned that the 0.13-micron die shrink
will also provide the Pentium 4 with more frequency headroom. The smaller transistors
can switch faster and produce less heat than their older counterparts, paving
the way for a 3GHz Pentium 4 before the end of the year. The current Northwood
based Pentium 4s run at 1.50V and can already overclock beyond 2.5GHz with conventional
air cooling, as the yields improve it shouldn’t be too far fetched to see some
near-3GHz speeds without much effort. Another aid in this effort to increase
clock speeds is the fact that all 0. 13-micron CPUs use Copper interconnects
which as you may already know, AMD has been employing for some time now.

The Northwood core will eventually make it down to the mobile market as well,
although at much lower clock speeds. There are still a few more pieces of the
puzzle that must fall into place before this will be made a reality, such as
the introduction of the i845G chipset (845 with integrated graphics).

Today Intel is releasing the first 0.13-micron Pentium 4 CPUs at two clock
speeds: 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz. In order to differentiate the 2GHz CPUs from their
older 0.18-micron 2GHz counterparts the new Northwood processors will be called
the Pentium 4 2A; the 2.2GHz CPUs will simply be known as Pentium 4 2.2s. The
Northwood will only be available in a Socket-478 variety (see above).

Since the processor has not changed much architecturally, we’ll point you back

Intel Prescott P4 3.4GHz & Northwood P4 3.4GHz

Pentium 4 ‘Northwood’ 2.2GHz vs. Athlon XP 2000+

TODAY BOTH Intel and AMD are unleashing brand-new processors on the world, and both companies aim to claim the title of “fastest PC processor.” The most significant advances come from Intel. The company is launching its Pentium 4 “Northwood” chip at 2.2GHz. With higher clock speeds and a larger L2 cache, Northwood might just give the Pentium 4 a decisive performance lead for the first time ever. AMD isn’t standing still, however, and its Athlon XP 2000+ is primed to defend its turf. Will it succeed, or with Northwood’s stratospheric clock speeds finally make the competition succumb? Read on to find out.

Pentium 4 Northwood
The chip code-named Northwood is Intel’s second incarnation of the Pentium 4 processor. The Pentium 4 “Northwood” isn’t fundamentally different from the original Pentium 4 “Willamette,” but there are a couple of significant changes to the chip.

The Pentium 4 “Northwood” 2.2GHz

First, Intel has changed the manufacturing process used to fabricate the chip. The first Pentium 4 chips were manufactured using Intel’s 0.18-micron fab process, which used conventional aluminum for the chip’s interconnects. Northwood is made on Intel’s new 0.13-micron process, which features copper interconnects with a low-K dilectric material that reduces crosstalk. Intel claims its 60-nanometer transistors are the world’s smallest and fastest in volume production, as well. The Pentium III made the conversion to this new manufacturing process a number of months ago, and the Pentium 4 is just now making the move.

A wafer of Willamette (left) and a wafer of Northwood (right)
Though the wafers were pulled at different stages of production, you can see
(if you squint) that quite a few more Northwood chips fit on a wafer

This so-called die shrink does several things for the Pentium 4. Northwood is smaller, runs cooler, and requires less power than Willamette. The Pentium 4’s die size shrinks from 217 square millimeters to 145 square millimeters. Because Intel can fit more chips on a wafer, Northwood should be cheaper to manufacture. The process shrink should also enable Northwood to run at even higher clock frequencies with ease.

The die shrink also made room for Intel to increase the size of the Pentium 4’s on-chip level 2 cache from 256K to 512K. This extra cache takes the Pentium 4 from 42 million transistors to 55 million. The jumbo-sized L2 cache ought to help Northwood tackle the Pentium 4’s big bugaboo: low clock-for-clock performance. A larger cache should help keep the P4’s deep instruction pipelined fed, increasing the number of instructions per clock (IPC) the chip can execute.

Intel is introducing Northwood at two initial clock speeds: 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz. In order to differentiate the Northwood 2GHz from the older Pentium 4 “Willamette” 2GHz, Intel is calling the Northwood 2GHz the “Pentium 4 processor at 2. 0 ‘A’ GHz.” The “A” designation will conjure up warmly remembered visions of the Celeron 300A for old-timers like me, while the rest of you will probably be wondering why Intel couldn’t come up with a better name than “2.0 ‘A’ GHz.”

The Athlon XP 2000+
The Athlon XP 2000+ is simply AMD’s latest speed ramp of the Athlon XP. Like all Athlon XPs, this new one gets a model number that’s independent of its clock speed. The previous top speed for the Athlon XP was the 1900+ model, which runs at 1.6GHz. (We reviewed the 1900+ here.) The Athlon XP 2000+ runs at 1.67GHz.

The Athlon XP hasn’t yet undergone the die shrink to 0.13 microns. Like Northwood and unlike Willamette, however, that Athlon XP is made with copper interconnects, which AMD has been using on Athlon chips for quite some time now. AMD has plans to take the Athlon line to 0.13 microns this quarter; that chip is code-named Thoroughbred. However, even without the die shrink, the Athlon XP is only 128 square millimeters. Because Athlon XPs are made up of only 37.5 million transistors, they’re much smaller than the Pentium 4—even smaller than die-shrunk Northwood. All other things being equal, Athlon XPs ought to be cheaper to make, as well.

Don’t be fooled by the Athlon XP’s relatively pokey 1.67GHz clock speed. There’s a reason AMD puts that model number label on its CPUs; they perform quite a bit better, clock for clock, than the Pentium 4.

What to watch for in the test results
I’ll tell you now that this is going to be a very tight contest, so it’s important to keep the relative benchmark scores in perspective. All of the processors we’re testing today are exceptionally fast, so they’re often held back by other components in our test system, like memory, video cards, or hard drives. Not only that, but the processors themselves perform quite similarly, which should be no great shock given the healthy competition right now between Intel and AMD. All told, you’ll see a lot of tests where the results are within a few percentage points of one another—or less.

Although we run our tests multiple times and average the results in order to limit variability, many of these results are close enough that the differences may not matter. Either the variance between the results is within the margin of error, or, more commonly, the real-world difference between one score and another is negligible. Keep that in mind.

That’s not to say that none of the differences matter. They often do. Some of the performance differences are rather pronounced. And every bit of performance counts, especially in a grudge match like this one.

That said, there are a few interesting matchups here. For starters, you’ll want to keep an eye on how the Pentium 4 Willamette 2GHz stacks up against the 2GHz Northwood. The Northwood ought to be faster in many tests thanks to its larger L2 cache, but in other places, that extra cache may not help much. Some software routines won’t fit into a 256K L2 cache, but they’ll fit fine into Northwood’s 512K L2 cache. Those routines should run faster on Northwood.

Next, we’ve tested the Pentium 4 chips with both DDR SDRAM and RDRAM. These two types of RAM are vying for supremacy on the Pentium 4 platform, and the odds are very good that DDR SDRAM will win that battle in terms of sales. You may want to keep an eye on how those two types of memory perform.

Finally, there’s the main event: the Athlon XP 2000+ versus the 2.2GHz Northwood. Can the Northwood’s extra speed and cache help the Pentium 4 finally overcome the Athlon? We’ll see.

Our testing methods
As ever, we did our best to deliver clean benchmark numbers. Tests were run at least twice, and the results were averaged.

• LAME 3.90
• SPECviewperf 6.1.2
• MadOnion 3DMark 2001 Build 200
• Quake III Arena 1.30
• Serious Sam v1.05

All the tests and methods we employed are publicly available and reproducible. If you have questions about our methods, hit our forums to talk with us about them.

Memory performance
We’re going to start off with memory tests because, well, that’s how we generally start things off. Also, these tests are a little more theoretical than the rest, so we’ll get them out of the way before we move on to the real contest.

First up is the modified version of the Stream memory benchmark that’s included in SiSoft’s Sandra. This test measures memory bandwidth, which is one component of memory performance.

The results break down nicely into three separate groups. As expected, the RDRAM systems are fastest here. The Pentium 4 DDR systems are next, and you can see there’s no difference between Willamette and Northwood here; they’re all talking to the same memory over the same bus, so the memory bandwidth is nearly identical. Finally, the Athlon XP systems can’t transfer quite as much data to memory as the Pentium 4 systems. On some memory-intensive tasks, the Pentium 4 will have the advantage.

However, that’s only half the story. As you can see on this page of our recent chipset review, RDRAM memory’s extra bandwidth comes at a price of higher memory latencies. DDR-based systems are much quicker accessing memory in smaller chunks, which helps them compare well against RDRAM-based systems despite the bandwidth disparity.

The more interesting test here is Linpack, which can give us a nice visual look at Northwood’s L2 cache in action. Here’s how the results look:

If you’re not familiar with a Linpack graph, watch closely. The X axis is the size of the data matrix Linpack is processing, and the Y axis is the calculation speed measured in megaflops. If data fits into a processor’s cache, the CPU can process that data much faster. As the size of the data matrix grows, the calculations will get progressively slower.

This graph shows us several things. First, you can see that Northwood’s L2 cache is quite a bit larger than Willamette’s. Willamette’s performance begins to drop off once we get into matrices of about 192K in size, while Northwood peaks at about 384K. Not only that, but the extra cache helps Northwood’s peak performance climb much higher than Willamette’s can.

Next, notice that the Athlon XP’s effective cache size is greater than 256K. Although the Athlon XP has a 256K L2 cache, its L2 cache doesn’t replicate the contents of the L1 data cache like the Pentium 4’s does. You can even see that the Athlon XP’s 64K L1 data cache is much faster than its L2 cache. The Athlon XP’s exclusive L2 cache gives it an effective cache size of 320K. However, the Athlon XP’s L2 cache is measurably slower than Northwood’s.

Now the intriguing bit: the Athlon XP shows us all of its 256K L2 and 64K L1 data cache in Linpack. Performance doesn’t drop off sharply until the matrix size hits 320K. The Northwood, however, peaks at about 384K—well below its 512K L2 cache size. I expect the difference here has something to do with the way these two chips manage their respective caches.

Business Winstone 2001
Business Winstone has been around forever, and this latest version still does a decent job showing us how a system performs in common office applications.

Did I mention that we had some very close results? The Northwood at 2.2GHz is fastest all around, but only when paired with RDRAM. Of the DDR-equipped systems, the Athlon XP 2000+ is fastest—but just barely.

Content Creation Winstone 2001
Business Winstone’s companion test is a little more intensive. It measures performance in applications like audio editing, page design, and image processing.

Here the Athlon XP takes a decisive lead. Northwood is just a tick faster than Willamette, though.

POV-Ray 3D rendering
POV-Ray is a freeware software ray-tracing program that creates high-quality 3D scenes. It’s also a very useful measure of a processor’s performance, particularly on floating-point math. Our POV-Ray tests use the original release of POV-Ray 3.1, plus Steve Schmitt’s recompiled versions, just to see what difference the various compilers and compiler settings can make.

This time out, we’re using an updated version of Steve Schmitt’s recompiled POV-Ray. Although there two flavors of recompiled POV-Ray, including one specifically optimized for the Pentium 4, we’re only using the generic “PIII” version, which runs fine on both the Athlon and the Pentium 4. Unfortunately, some folks have reported getting buggy output from the P4-specific binary, so we’ll have to skip it.

The Athlon XP dominates in POV-Ray, finishing the render a full 80 (and a half) seconds before the 2.2GHz Northwood—and the gap’s over two minutes with the unoptimized binary. Athlons have always excelled in floating-point math, so this result is not a big surprise.

LAME MP3 encoding
LAME is the encoder of choice around Damage Labs for high-quality output, so this test holds some interest for me. More speed for MP3 encoding is always good.

It’s mighty close yet again, but the Athlon XP 2000+ comes out on top.

Quake III Arena
The crown for Quake III performance changed hands when we tested the Athlon XP 1900+ a while back. Before then, Quake III was definitely Pentium 4 territory. Can Northwood recapture the crown?

Most definitely. Three different Northwood configurations outpace the Athlon XP 2000+. However, the older Willamette 2GHz can’t beat the Athlon XP 1800+.

Serious Sam
If Quake III seems old and musty to you, Serious Sam ought to be more up your alley.

The Athlon XP takes this one in a walk. Serious Sam has always run especially well on an Athlon, and the newest, fastest Athlon XP is no exception.

3DMark 2001
This test’s top spot has changed hands more often than most Euro notes. It seems like every time a new NVIDIA driver, chipset, or processor hits the streets, we’ve got a new 3DMark leader. The Pentium 4 2GHz held the lead last time out. Can the Athlon XP pull into the lead?

Not exactly. Northwood at 2.2GHz is faster, but it’s extremely close overall. The big story is how much faster Northwood is than Willamette—about 500 points at the same clock speed.

SPECviewperf workstation graphics
Viewperf measures performance in workstation-class 3D applications like CAD/CAM and 3D modeling tools. Some of these tests are limited almost entirely by our GeForce3 graphics card, but a few of them are still interesting.

This should come as no surprise: in those tests where the graphics card isn’t the performance bottleneck, it’s a toss up. The Athlon XP is faster in some, and the Pentium 4 systems are faster in others.

Speech recognition
The Sphinx speech recognition tests came to us via Ricky Houghton, who works in a speech recognition effort at Carnegie Mellon University. They’re based on Sphinx 3.3, which is an advanced system that promises greater accuracy in speech recognition. However, our past tests have shown that Sphinx 3.3 still can’t quite run fast enough on a standard PC to handle tasks in real time; it seems to be limited primarily by memory bandwidth, but faster CPUs do help performance, as well.

What we’re after here is for our speech recognition test to execute faster than real time, which would help make Sphinx 3.3 workable in real-world applications. For a while now, I’ve hoped that Northwood might take us past that threshold.

Unfortunately, not even Northwood at 2.2GHz can take us into the Promised Land. Regardless, all of these processors are very close. Maybe we can make it happen yet with a little tweaking, eh?

ScienceMark
On to Tim Wilkens’ computational benchmark, ScienceMark. This suite of tests measures number-crunching ability by running some computationally intensive scientific equations. Like 3DMark, ScienceMark then spits out a composite number denoting a system’s overall score in the suite.

The Athlon XP 2000+ is an absolute monster in scientific computing—Godzilla in a lab coat. However, the individual tests show the Pentium 4’s strength, as well.

The Athlon XP is fastest in the QMC and Liquid Argon tests, but Primordia is dominated by the Pentium 4.

Overclocking
As you’ve already seen, the Pentium 4 2.2GHz and the Athlon XP 2000+ are the fastest x86 processors on the planet. They have achieved benchmark scores that have never been seen before. They have forever upped the ante in the performance market. Virtually any power user would be completely satisfied with the power of these just-announced chips.

Naturally, we had to try to overclock the rot out of them.

Of course, overclocking isn’t as easy as it used to be. Granted, Intel has had their multiplier lock in place for ages, but AMD always gave you a pretty easy out. With the Slot A Athlons it was the Golden Fingers cards (R.I.P.) and with the Socket A Thunderbird Athlons, a mechanical pencil was all you needed to achieve overclocking bliss.

The Athlon XP, however, changed all that. While it’s still technically possible to unlock the Athlon XP, it’s much more difficult, and as a result it’s likely that even many enthusiasts will now give up on multiplier control and pursue an easier overclocking method.

That method, of course, is bus overclocking. Many enthusiast’s boards allow for bus speed control via the BIOS. Although it is less versatile with out multiplier control, bus overclocking can still reap substantial rewards. This is because when you raise the bus speed, you’re overclocking not only the processor, but also the RAM, PCI bus, AGP bus . . . you get the idea. The downside is that when you overclock a large number of components, there’s a higher chance that one of them will hit a wall and stop your fun.

We overclocked both the 2.2GHz Pentium 4 and the Athlon XP 2000+ to the highest stable speed we could find. The Pentium 4 tests were conducted with the Abit BD7-RAID, while the Athlon XP tests used the Epox EP-8KHA+. First we’ll go over the speed increases we realized, then we’ll take a look at a subset of our earlier benchmarks, comparing “stock” speed to top stable overclocked speed.

The Pentium 4, unsurprisingly, was an overclocking beast, topping out with a top stable bus speed of 118MHz (stock is 100MHz). That gives us a processor speed of 2596MHz, nearly a 400MHz gain. The Athlon XP didn’t get quite that large a jump, but it still nailed down a pretty impressive increase of its own, going from 133MHz bus to 142MHz bus. Processor speed went from 1667MHz to 1775MHz.

Now let’s see what that extra speed will get you. We’ll start with the Sphinx speech recognition test.

Pushing the 2.2GHz Pentium 4 to the limit finally breaks the real-time barrier for the Sphinx speech recognition test. And not by a little bit, either; we can see that the increase in bus speed really allows the Northwood to stretch its legs and blast through the magic 1. 0 mark. The Athlon XP, meanwhile, posts miniscule gains here. It’s likely that some other component is creating a bottleneck here, as the extra hundred or so megahertz provide hardly any benefit.

Once again, we see the Pentium 4 utilizing its increased bus speed to great effect, gaining nearly 35 frames per second. The Athlon XP does better with its increased bus, but not to the same extent. Of course, it’s important to remember that the Pentium 4 system—both in bus speed and processor speed—gained relatively more than the Athlon XP.

The trend continues in the final test, as the Pentium 4 gains a lot of performance from its overclocked bus. The Athlon XP scores are basically a draw; though the overclocked system technically scored lower, the differences are statistically insignificant.

Conclusions
Performance-wise, it’s a toss-up. I would like to declare one or the other of these processors the clear winner, but that’s just not possible. The Athlon XP 2000+ and Pentium 4 2. 2GHz are locked in a dead heat for the title of “fastest x86 processor.”

Pentium 4 2.2GHz (left) and Athlon XP 2000+ (right)

That’s significant progress for Intel, because AMD has held an almost-constant performance lead for well over a year now. With the introduction of the 845 chipset with support for DDR memory and now Northwood, the Pentium 4 platform has finally come into its own. The die-shrunk Pentium 4 is primed for Intel to crank up the clock, and our overclocking exploits show Intel has the headroom to do so at will. The P4 platform’s high-speed bus and ample memory bandwidth will allow significant performance gains as clock speeds ramp, too.

As for AMD, they have managed to hang on to a share of the performance title even as Intel has introduced a much-improved Pentium 4. AMD’s ability to compete with Intel over the past few years has been unprecedented and impressive. However, AMD is facing significant challenges ahead. The Athlon XP will have to transition to 0. 13-micron production before too long, and more importantly, the Athlon XP needs a faster system bus in order to take advantage of faster forms of memory, like DDR333. As consistently as AMD has executed on its plans, however, I find it hard to doubt they will meet these challenges. Heck, there’s probably enough headroom in the current, 0.18-micron Athlon XP for clock speeds as high as 1.8GHz.

Finally, there is the little matter of price. Intel’s pricing for the new P4 chips is like so:

Pentium 4 2.2GHz – $562
Pentium 4 2.0 “A” GHz – $364

AMD’s prices, meanwhile, are a little more modest:

Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67GHz) – $339
Athlon XP 1900+ (1.60GHz) – $269
Athlon XP 1800+ (1.53GHz) – $223
Athlon XP 1700+ (1.47GHz) – $190
Athlon XP 1600+ (1.4GHz) – $160

Obviously, the Athlon XP offers the better price-performance ratio. For enthusiasts looking to build their own PCs, the Athlon XP is probably still the way to go. For those of you looking to buy a PC from a large OEM like Gateway or Dell, it’s hard to say. AMD’s lower prices might let you get more PC for the money. However, Intel traditionally offers steep discounts to OEMs, so shop carefully. 

Intel Prescott: the benchmarks | ZDNET

Intel’s new ‘Prescott’ Pentium 4 has double the L1 and L2 cache of its ‘Northwood’ predecessor. An extended 31-stage pipeline accounts for the fact that the new chip is mostly slower than the CPU it replaces.

Although Intel’s new processor has larger L1 and L2 caches and an enhanced set of multimedia instructions (SSE3), the company has resisted the temptation to call the Prescott chip the ‘Pentium 5’. You can identify a Prescott Pentium 4 by the ‘E’ that follows the clock speed — as in, ‘Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology 3.40E GHz’.
There are four new Pentium 4 processors with the Prescott core (see table below). However, the 3.4GHz version will not be available in large quantities at launch, which is why Intel did not send this variant to testers. A 3.4GHz Pentium 4 with the older Northwood core will also available — although, again, it’s not currently available for test.

Intel is also releasing another variant of the gaming-orientated Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, a 3.4GHz processor that will cost nearly $1,000. This Northwood-core chip has little relevance to business users, though: for more than the double cost of an equivalent desktop processor, the Extreme Edition delivers only 10 to 15 per cent more performance.

Intel’s new processors
CPU	FSB	HT support	Price
Pentium 4 2. 8E GHz (Prescott)	800MHz	yes	$178
Pentium 4 3.0E GHz (Prescott)	800MHz	yes	$218
Pentium 4 3.2E GHz (Prescott)	800MHz	yes	$278
Pentium 4 3.4E GHz (Prescott)	800MHz	yes	$417
Pentium 4 3.4 GHz (Northwood)	800MHz	yes	$417
Pentium 4 EE 3.4 GHz (Northwood)	800MHz	yes	$999

Caches, pipelines and power dissipation
The new Prescott CPU has more cache memory than its Northwood predecessor: both the L1 and the L2 caches are now twice as large as before, at 16KB and 1MB respectively. The Prescott chip also supports SSE3, which includes 13 extra PNI (Prescott New Instructions) commands. However, no applications yet support the new Prescott instructions, so they are currently irrelevant in practice.
Larger L1 and L2 caches should boost Prescott’s speed. The fact that this is mostly not the case — Prescott is sometimes slower than previous Pentium 4 variants — is because the chip’s command pipeline has been extended. Think of the pipeline as an assembly-line with several stages: the more stages assembly line has, the faster can it run, in theory. But if the parts (instructions and data) on the assembly-line are not in the correct order, the line must be stopped, corrected, and restarted.
Intel tries to balance this disadvantage with larger caches, which offer faster access to instructions and data than conventional main memory. But larger caches also mean that the power dissipation of the chip rises. The following tables give the results from a variety of PC systems.

A PC with standard components and the new Intel Prescott chip dissipates nearly 50 Watts more under full load than the same system with the previous-generation Northwood chip. In Idle(no load) mode, the Prescott system still uses nearly 35 Watts more.

A high-end system with a 256MB Radeon 9800 Pro GPU and Prescott CPU dissipates nearly 250 Watts under full load. At nearly 200 Watts, the same system with the Northwood Pentium 4 uses considerably less power. AMD’s Athlon 64 3200+ under full load dissipates nearly 80 Watts less than the Prescott system. But the Athlon 64 has a disadvantage: motherboard manufacturers do not yet support all of the AMD chip’s power saving modes, which explains the comparatively small differences between no-load operation and full load. Only if AMD’s Cool ‘ n ‘ Quiet mode is activated does the Athlon 64’s power dissipation drop significantly.

AMD’s Athlon 64 processors are faster than their Intel counterparts under both of the new 2004 Winstone benchmarks. Despite its extended pipeline, Intel’s Prescott is slightly faster than its Northwood predecessor.

Internet performance
As far as Internet performance is concerned, AMD’s processors are ahead of Intel’s Pentium 4. The Athlon 64 3200+ is particularly impressive compared to the 3.2GHz Pentium 4 in the JavaScript and JavaScript/XML W3C tests, delivering 50 per cent better performance. The Northwood Pentium 4 scores well with the Java VM and Acrobat Reader tests, while the new Prescott chip is somewhat slower than its predecessor in all Internet benchmarks except the XML test.

3D performance: Unreal Tournament
3D games do not expose performance differences between the CPUs — especially if image-quality-enhancing features such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering are activated. Under these circumstances, the performance of the graphics card is the limiting factor.
The results show that the AMD processors are slightly faster than the Pentium 4 chips if no anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering is activated. With higher resolution and better image quality, the performance differences are less apparent. The Intel CPUs deliver better results than the Athlon chips, which possibly points to a more effective AGP interface at higher resolutions with this test. Intel’s new Prescott Pentium 4 core is somewhat slower than its predecessor in this test.

3D performance: Comanche 4 / Splintercell
When tested with the 3D games Splintercell and Comanche 4, the new Prescott Pentium 4 lags behind its Northwood predecessor. With Comanche 4 the performance difference between the old and the new Pentium 4 is as much as 15 per cent. AMD’s Athlon 64 3400+ delivers the best performance with Comanche 4. If the image quality enhancements are activated with Splintercell, hardly any differences between the processors are evident. Here the graphics card is the limiting factor. With lower image quality settings the Athlon 64 beats its Intel competition.

3D performance: F1 Challenge 99-02
In the F1 Challenge 99-02 test, the processors from Ferrari sponsor AMD and Toyota sponsor Intel are as close as the respective cars are on the track. At 1,024 by 768 resolution, AMD noses in front. At higher resolutions and with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering activated, the processors are equally fast.

Load times: Racing Simulation 3
Processor performance is important for more than just gaming performance. Application startup times, loading of saved games and replays can also be affected by processor speed.
Ubisoft’s Formula 1 simulation, Racing Simulation 3, exposes particularly large differences in this respect. With this test, the time for the game to load completely is determined (1st start). The procedure is then repeated to determine the influence of the buffers (caches). Afterwards, the first replay is loaded (replay load). Finally, this procedure is repeated (2nd replay load). The results show that the AMD platform is clearly faster than its Intel competition.

Load times: F1 Challenge 99-02
The second load test, with F1 Challenge 99-02, also shows up performance differences, although not as dramatically as Racing Simulation 3. AMD’s processors are clearly faster when loading replays, while Intel’s new Prescott Pentium 4 outperforms its Northwood predecessor. Obviously here the advantages of Prescott’s larger caches outweigh the disadvantages of its longer pipeline.

Conclusions
The 3.2GHz Prescott Pentium 4 is slightly faster in some tests than its 3.2GHz Northwood predecessor, but mostly it is slightly slower. This should come as no surprise, since all new Intel desktop processors tend to be slower than their predecessors at the same clock speed. This was particularly true of the first Pentium 4, which only overtook the 1GHz Pentium III when its clock speed reached 1.5GHz.
‘What is Intel up to?’, one might well ask. The answer is simple: as far as Intel’s marketing department is concerned, ‘megahertz sells’. By contrast to the mobile market (where the Pentium M that drives Centrino notebooks is approximately as fast at 1.8GHz as the Pentium 4 at 2.4GHz), traditional thinking applies in the desktop space. With its extended 31-stage pipeline, the Prescott Pentium 4 is generally slightly slower than its predecessor, despite having double the cache. But the longer pipeline means that Intel can continue to drive up Prescott’s clock speed.
Remember, though, that at 3.2GHz no other desktop processor requires as much power as the Prescott Pentium 4, which should reach 4GHz by the end of 2004. ‘Megahertz sells’? We shall see.

Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Processor Review

Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz Processor Review

---

The
Intel Pentium 4 processor has come a long way in the last two years. These
days, if you want a top of the line system, it’s going to have a Pentium 4
inside. Yes, AMD’s AthlonXP 2700+ and 2800+ processors are just as
powerful, its just that they’re almost impossible to find for
retail sale while the P4 2.8 GHz has been easily available since its’
introduction.

Ever since the
Northwood core was been introduced, Intel
has been in front in terms of performance,
and perhaps more importantly, availability. What makes the Intel Northwood P4 so attractive is
that Intel has doubled the size of the L2 cache. With 512KB of L2 cache
the performance penalty for having a long CPU pipeline has been dramatically reduced. To
top things off, Northwood Pentium 4’s are great overclockers. Many 1.6A and
1.8A P4’s have no problem hitting 2.4 GHz+ with retail cooling!

So what’s new with the P4 2.8 GHz processor other then clock speed? The CPU
is based on the new C1 core which uses the new enhanced, shrunken, Northwood core
which has a surface area of only 131 mm2. Non-enhanced B0 steeping
Northwoods are 145mm2 in size.

C1 stepping Northwood P4’s
also run on a higher voltage of 1.525V as opposed to 1.5V for the B0
based Northwood’s. Looking at the bottom of the processor we see that
Intel is using larger resistors.

Overclocking to 2.8GHz P4:

Even though I’m currently playing with the fastest (retail-available)
processor in the world, it’s still not fast enough for me. =)

Using the retail
cooler (temperatures never exceeded 50 degrees celsius during testing) we began
to up the FSB slowly. Unfortunately I hit the wall at 147 MHz FSB which only
gives us 3.09 GHz while using 1.6V. No matter what voltage I gave the CPU, I
couldn’t go above that mark. I think the limitation may be due to other hardware; namely
the PSU.

Unfortunately we recently had to swap out the trusty Antec 400W PSU
for a 300W version recently. Using Antec’s 300W PSU I’ve been noticing problems overclocking
previously tested components to the same level as tested before.

stress test / Processors and memory

Intel Pentium4 on Northwood stepping C

AMD’s unprecedented activity at the beginning of 2003 attracted increased attention from overclockers. The very first models of Thoroughbred processors on the core of revision A appeared, which had an unlocked multiplier (we immediately conducted the appropriate stress testing). Subsequently, T-bred processors with revision B core appeared, which, in addition to changing the multiplier, allowed a significant increase in the operating frequency of the processor (the most typical example is overclocking from 1466 MHz (XP1700) to 2000 MHz (XP2400) 2083 MHz (XP2600)). And finally, the release of processors with the new Barton core, with L2 cache increased to 512KB (which we have already tested).

In addition, the release of boards based on the nVidia nForce II chipset made overclocking AMD processors a very interesting activity, and allowed the latter to reach their full potential.

And in the midst of this celebration of life, Intel processors look completely inexpressive. The golden age of Pentium4 1.6A and 1.8A processors, which showed miracles of overclocking (a typical example of overclocking 1. 6 GHz -> 2.6 GHz), has already passed. And the overclocking of new processor models (including those with a 133(533QP) MHz bus) did not allow overcoming the 2.8 GHz bar.

However, more and more often information about Pentium4 processors began to appear on the net, which easily overcame the 3GHz threshold at the nominal voltage. And when the voltage (Vcore) increased, the processors worked at frequencies of ~ 3.5 GHz, while some instances took the mark of 4 GHz.

Actually, there is nothing surprising in this. Last summer, Intel began transferring production lines to the production of processors with a new stepping — C1. The main difference between stepping C1 and the previous B0 is the ability to work at higher frequencies and minor core changes.

Quite naturally (from the point of view of economic feasibility 🙂 not only older processor models (2.8GHz, 3.06 GHz) were transferred to the new stepping, but also younger models — all up to 1.8A (model 1.6A has already been discontinued). As a result, we can expect stable operation at frequencies of ~ 3 GHz from any processor of this stepping, regardless of its initial frequency.

The question immediately arises — how to distinguish processors with the new C1 stepping from the old ones with the B0 stepping. The easiest way is to build the system and run the Wcpu (or CPU-Z) utility. If the processor has stepping B0, then the value of «Stepping ID»=4. Example:

But if you come across a processor with C1 stepping, then its value «Stepping ID»=7.

And the Cpu-Z utility even specifies the stepping.

However, it is very unlikely that when buying a processor you will be told the processor stepping or given the opportunity to test it with a program. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish processors in appearance.

There are two options: by marking or by the location of the capacitors.

So, before you is a table with series numbers of Northwood processors of stepping C. I must say right away that the table is not final and can be expanded with new batches/series.

Processor Model	Series
1.8A	SL6LA
	SL6E6
2.0A	SL6GQ
	SL6E7
2.2	SL6GR
	SL6E8
2.26	SL6DU
	SL6EE
2.4	SL6GS
	SL6E9
2.4V	SL6DV
	SL6E9
2. 50	SL6GT
	SL6EB
2.53	SL6DW
	SL6EG
2.6	SL6GU
	SL6HB
2.66	SL6DX
	SL6EH
2.8	SL6K6
	SL6HL
3.06	SL6K7
	SL6JJ

Another way to distinguish stepping is to look at the location of the capacitors. If their location matches the location of the capacitors on the P4 3.06GHz processor, then this is definitely a stepping C processor.

Reverse side of the test processor There are processors of stepping C, in which the arrangement of capacitors differs from the above. One way or another, the choice of processor is a kind of lottery. After all, even among the C-stepping processors there are unsuccessful (in terms of overclocking) instances.

So, for a closer acquaintance, I purchased a Pentium4 2.4B processor of the SL6DV series (Costa Rica) with a supply voltage of 1.525V.

Actually, I bought this processor only because of the 133 (533) MHz bus. The vast majority of motherboards based on i845PEGE chipsets do not allow using DDR333 memory when installing a processor with a 100MHz bus. I have talked about this more than once in reviews of motherboards.

And to achieve maximum overclocking, it makes sense to look for a processor with a lower multiplier. A good example is the P4 2.26GHz model with a multiplier = 17, and with this processor the frequency FSB=200(800QP)MHz becomes quite real. In this case, the resulting frequency will be 3.4 GHz.

But models with a 100(400QP) MHz bus have multipliers of 18 or more, and their overclocking to a 200 MHz bus is very unlikely.

Overclocking and heat dissipation

For overclocking experiments, we chose the Abit IT7-MAX2 v2.0 board based on the Intel 845PE chipset. Let me remind you that in the review of this motherboard it was concluded that this motherboard is not suitable for extreme overclocking due to the small range of voltage changes on the processor (maximum Vcore = 1.7V). However, as it turned out in the latest BIOS, Abit programmers expanded this range to a more acceptable value = 1.85V.

And keeping in mind the company’s statements about the stable operation of the board at frequencies of 200 MHz and higher, it was decided to test overclocking on this particular board.

The overclocking result turned out to be somewhat ambiguous — the P4 2. 4B processor was overclocked from the stock frequency of 133 MHz to 180 MHz. As a result, the clock frequency was 3.24 GHz.

On the one hand, this is an excellent result — the frequency is much higher than the top model 3.06 GHz (frequency increase 840 MHz). At the same time, we get a solid increase in performance due to the higher frequency of the processor bus. But about performance a little later.

On the other hand, I came across not the most successful copy of the processor. Quite often I came across information about overclocking a 2.4B (C1) processor to a frequency of 3.6GHz. Those. a potential increase in frequency of 1.2 GHz or 50% (by the way, my last P4 1.8A overclocked exactly by 50% :).

Typical heat dissipation at this frequency should be at least 85W, and the maximum power consumption should be more than 100W.

From this we logically conclude that a more efficient cooling device is needed. Let me tell you that Intel itself plans to release new «boxed» coolers with a copper plate at the base. In the meantime, I used the Zalman 6500Cu-B cooler, which, according to our tests, is the most efficient air cooler.

However, given that the CPU voltage was slightly increased, we could have managed with a weaker cooler. However, it is worth remembering that when the Pentium4 processor overheats, the overheating protection is activated in it. As a result, the temperature increase slows down/stops, and at the same time the level of performance drops significantly.

And finally, a few words about the next stepping of Pentium 4 processors. We are talking about the D1 stepping.

I’ll start with the fact that the new stepping has «Stepping ID»=9, which will allow you to easily determine it with Wcpu utilities. And the main difference from stepping C is that the processor bus frequency will be equal to 200(800QP) MHz. In addition, for older models, the operating voltage will be slightly increased (up to 1.55V).

And now about the sad part — the first processors with the new stepping will appear at the end of spring and these will be expensive models (3GHz and higher). And the younger models (2.4GHz, 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz) will appear on open sale only in the middle of summer (just in time for the game Doom3 :). However, there is good news — it is very likely that the listed models will include support for HyperThreading technology, which increases performance in multi-threaded applications.

Let’s move on to performance tests of the overclocked processor.

Performance

To test performance, we assembled a system based on Abit IT7-MAX2 v2.0 boards (based on Intel 845PE chipset) and a system based on Asus P4G8X boards (based on Intel E7205 Granite Bay chipset). Thus, we will once again compare the performance of these two chipsets both in stock and overclocked modes. In addition, we will also overclock the RAM on the Abit board.

I would like to point out one important point right away. On a system with an Asus P4G8X board, the memory worked at a frequency of 180 MHz with minimum timings of 2-2-5-2. But in a system with an Abit IT7-MAX2 v2.0 board, the memory worked at frequencies of 166 MHz and 177 MHz at the minimum (2-2-5-2), and when the memory worked at a frequency of 225 MHz (which corresponds to DDR450), then there were higher timings 2.5-3-6-3.

So, the tests used a familiar set of applications.

First, let’s look at the results of synthetic tests.

We have only synthetic applications that demonstrate theoretical performance. A purely synthetic Sandra memory bandwidth test shows Granite Bay’s advantage over i845PE by almost 25-30%. But the PCMark test shows almost equal results.

Now tests of real applications.

less is better (sec.)

And finally, tests of game programs.

The performance of the game Id Quake3 directly depends on the bandwidth of the memory subsystem. Therefore, when testing an overclocked processor, I expected a significant increase in speed. Actually, that’s how it happened.

But the Serious Sam game is very inconvenient for the Pentium4 processor. In this application, there is practically no dependence on the speed of the memory, and the code is poorly predictable (with a large number of transitions). Usually processors with a powerful FPU unit, such as Athlon XP, show the best results in this game.

Another couple of tests, this time using DirectX. But in general, the situation repeats itself: the system based on the GraniteBay board outperforms the system with the i845PE board, both in standard modes and in overclocking mode.

Video card Ti4200 (working frequencies 315600 🙂

i845PE vs E7205 Granite Bay

So, on which chipset do the boards look more attractive? Let’s try to understand this issue.

If all components work under normal conditions, then the answer is simple — the highest performance can only be achieved on a motherboard with a GraniteBay chipset.

The next question is more subtle, which chipset is better for overclocking?

The answer, oddly enough, lies in the amount of memory required by the user. If the system will be used for gaming and other home applications, then quite a reasonable amount for these tasks is 512MB. As a result, you can purchase one memory bar of very high quality, which can operate at a frequency = 43 (or 54) of the processor bus frequency. Moreover, depending on the quality of the memory and the voltage on it (Vmem), manipulations with timings are possible.

So, for this variant, the best solution is an i845PE board with support for multipliers 43 and 54 i845GE)).

Asus P4PE

Abit IT7-MAX2 v2.0

180225 with minimal timings will show a speed comparable to GraniteBay (I remind you that in my tests the memory on the i845PE works with timings of 2.5-3-6-3).

But if your system is a workstation and the amount of memory is more than 512 MB, then the most successful solution is a motherboard based on the GraniteBay chipset. There is no need to buy expensive RAM — a high-quality DDR400 is enough.

However, overclocking on working computers is very, very rare, because in this area reliability is much more important than performance. For example, one failure while solving a multi-hour task can completely offset any positive effect of overclocking. Home computers are another matter. The game hung — we had a fight, rebooted the system, loaded the level again and continued to destroy monsters;)

A separate discussion deserves purely computational tasks, in which the main role is played by the processor power, and not the memory bandwidth (a typical example is 3D Studio MAX). In this case, the winner is the board whose chipset is more loyal to overclocking.

So, if I came across a more successful copy of the processor that could operate at FSB = 190 MHz or even 200 MHz, then when it was overclocked on the Granite Bay board, I would not encounter any problems — the memory would work synchronously at a frequency of 200 MHz. But on an i845PE board, I would encounter the impossibility of memory operation in asynchronous mode (200 * 54 = 250 MHz — Kingstone memory cannot operate at such a frequency even with increased timings). To be honest, only memory modules manufactured by 2-3 companies will be able to operate at this frequency.

Yes, of course, the probability that such a overclockable instance of the processor will come across is very small. However, in the spring there will be new Intel processors with stepping D, which initially operate at a frequency of FSB=200 MHz. As a result, overclocking will be carried out already from this mark — and all owners of i845GE-based boards will be left «with a nose» 🙂 — on their system, the memory will be able to work only in synchronous mode, which means a significant performance loss. But owners of motherboards based on dual-channel chipsets (Granite Bay SiS 655) will be able to continue experimenting with overclocking without losing performance.

Asus P4G8X : Granite Bay

Gigabyte 8INXP : Granite Bay

And the last fact — the cost of a bundle (boards on i845PE + expensive memory) is approximately equal to the cost of a bundle (expensive board on Granite Bay + regular memory). Those. the board on the E7205 Granite Bay looks more attractive. However, keep in mind that simultaneously with the announcement of Pentium4 processors with 200(800QP) MHz bus, Intel is going to introduce new chipsets: i865PE (Springdale-PE) and i875P (Canterwood).

Both new chipsets are dual-channel, supporting DDR400 and DDR333 memory. In addition, the i875P chipset has a special «Turbo mode» to increase performance. Both chipsets will also support AGP8X (Granite Bay already supports AGP8X) and will be equipped with a new southbridge — ICH5 with integrated SerialATA support. By the way, ICH5 will increase the number of USB ports from 6 to 8 and integrate Gigabit Ethernet support. The south bridge will be connected to the north bridge via the Hub Link v1.5 bus with a bandwidth of 266 MB per second.

As a result of all the above arguments, I cannot unequivocally say which chipset is better — i845PE or E7205 GraniteBay.

Conclusions

So, the main conclusion is the following. Northwood’s C stepping processors have great potential for overclocking and demonstrate very high performance on both the i845PE and E7205 systems.

So what happens — you need to grab the money and run to the nearest store for Pentium4 stepping C :)) ? You can, but I want to make a couple of comments 🙂

First of all, quite recently (February 24), Intel has carried out a massive price cut for its line of processors. In particular, P4 2.4B fell in price from $193 to $163 and became the cheapest processor based on the Northwood core (models 2.26 and 2.13 cost the same). However, prices in our stores remain at the same level and will remain so until the purchase of a new batch of processors. Therefore, it makes sense to wait for a real price reduction for the 2.4B model.

Secondly, if the upgrade can take several months, then it makes sense to wait for D1 stepping processors with a nominal FSB=200 MHz and boards based on the new i865PE and i875P chipsets (although I repeat once again: many boards based on i845PE and GraniteBay will be able to work with new processors).

ABIT BH7 (i845PE) with unofficial support for FSB 800MHz

And finally, if you hesitate between choosing an Intel or Amd platform, then you should know that in the near future we plan to compare the processors of both companies in a face-to-face fight :)))

These are the Ballroom, Dining Room, Living Room, Morning Room, Library, Rotunda and House Bar. Wedding ceremonies can be held in the first six of these rooms, and the ballroom can accommodate 120 people. [3] There are other smaller rooms in the house that can be rented or rented out for longer periods. There is also a converted stable block on the grounds, now known as the Community Hall. [4] The 26-acre estate is not only reserved for private events, but also hosts a number of community events each year, and the original tennis and bowling alleys are still there. The original Glacier still remains, half buried on the grounds of Northwood House. It is believed that about fifteen glaciers remained on the coast. Isle of Wight. There is also a war memorial on the grounds dedicated to those who died in the First World War. It was originally located at the intersection of High Street and Market Hill, but was itself damaged by an air raid during World War II. The remains were moved to Northwood Park and it now stands as a memorial to both wars. The tarmac area around the original entrance to the house has been converted into paid short-term parking for public use. History The Ward family owned the estate for six generations from 1793 to 1929. The road that runs in front of the house is named Ward Avenue in their honor. However, they also owned vast amounts of land on the Isle of Wight and also resided on the Weston estate in Freshwater. The successive owners of the estate are: The Ward family George Ward (1793 — 1829) In 1793 George Ward Esq., a very successful merchant banker from Broad Street in the City of London, bought at auction the Coase estate in Bellevue, which consisted of the Belle View mansion and seventeen acres earth. [5] The house was described as a «modern brick dwelling» with four rooms per floor and an excellent wine cellar. [6] In 1799 he largely demolished Belle View House and built Northwood House in its place, and the area was renamed Northwood Park. [2] The only part of Belle Vue that still exists are the large cellars under Northwood House, which are said to have been originally built to store smuggled goods. [7] By this time, Ward had also purchased more land in Cowes, including Deburn Farm, which increased the estate to 217 acres. [8] The path leading to the house was by then almost a mile long. [9] The alterations to the house were designed by John Nash, the famous London architect. Nash also designed Buckingham Palace as well as many other properties on the island, including East Cowes Castle, IW County Club and St Mildred’s Church, Whippingham. The walls surrounding the estate were built of Bembridge limestone taken from Brading Harbour. [10] Ward’s wealth came from his grandfather, John Ward, and his father, also named John Ward. Both were very successful businessmen. However, in addition to this, in 1783 his father also won a half share of the £20,000 state lottery winnings. Today it is worth over a million pounds. [11] George Ward was also the elder brother of Robert Plumer Ward, lawyer, politician and writer, who was MP for Cockermouth between 1802 and 1806. [12] Among other things, George Ward made his fortune by lending money to the government during the Napoleonic Wars at very favorable interest rates. With his own money, he bought more and more land on the Isle of Wight, eventually amassing about 20,000 acres, said to be a fifth of the island’s area. [13] Due to the vast amount of land he owned by that time, he was nicknamed «King Ward». Ward was also director of the East India Docks in London. [14] In 1798 George Ward was appointed new Sheriff of the Treasury Court [15] In 1803 a daughter was born in the home of his wife Mary. [16] Unfortunately, however, she died of a paralytic stroke in 1813. [17] In 1813 George Ward opened the first steamboat service between Cowes and Southampton. [18] The Isle of Wight Royal Mail Steam Packet Company would eventually become the company now known as the Red Funnel. [19] «In memory of John Sutton, who died in a duel near this city on December 10, 1817, at the age of 22.» In 1817, a duel took place at Northwood House between Major Orlando Locker and Lieutenant John Sutton after Lockyer was offended by Sutton’s comment when both were drinking the same night. On the morning of the duel, it was said that Sutton apologized and informed Locker that he would not return fire on him. Lockyer still asked for the signal to fire, and when the handkerchief fell, he shot Sutton in the heart, while Sutton did not even remove his gun. Before he died, Sutton stepped forward and held out his hand, which Lockyer took. Lockyer and his seconds fled the scene. [20] At the Coroner’s inquest, the jury returned a verdict of «premeditated murder» to Locker and his two seconds, who at that time had not yet been apprehended. [21] In their subsequent trial at Winchester Assisi, they were charged with murder. Lockyer said he was the most flagrant provocation and asked Sutton to make a concession that would have made the duel unnecessary, but Sutton refused and persisted to the last. The defendants were found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to three months’ imprisonment each. [22] John Sutton is buried in the house next door. Church of St. Mary Cemetery. In 1821, to celebrate the coronation of George IV, a grand feast was held at Northwood House for the poor inhabitants of Northwood and Cowes. A feast was prepared for 2,000 people, and they saw it as an opportunity to testify their devotion and joy to the new king. In addition to using his estate, Ward donated 50 guineas totaling 200 guineas for food and entertainment. [23] In 1823, Ward was noted for his «generosity» by distributing six oxen and ten chaldrons of coals among the «poor and worthy objects» of Coes. [24] George had a famous and talented cricketer son, William Ward. Following in the family footsteps, William was also a well-known financier. But as a cricketer he hit first class double century for the first time and his score of 278 for MCC against Norfolk in 1820 remained the highest ever first class score for 56 years until finally beaten by W. G. Grace in 1876 ​​with a score of 344. Ward’s ball is held by the MCC Museum and is considered the oldest in existence. You can also thank William Ward for rescuing the famous Lord. The cricket ground was sold to a developer in 1825. He stepped in and bought out the rent to prevent that from happening. [25] In 1817 William was elected director of the Bank of England and was an expert on foreign exchanges. In 1826 William Ward became an MP for the City of London. William Ward did not inherit the estate for only three months and died shortly before his elder brother George Henry Ward. However, instead of him, the estate was inherited by his son. George Ward died at the age of 78 in 1829, leaving behind an estate worth over £700,000. [26] George Henry Ward (1829 — 1849) In 1829, after the death of George Ward, his firstborn son George Henry Ward inherited the estate. In 1837 he extensively refurbished the house, including a new west wing, an entrance pavilion, and a classically styled side wall. [2] He inherited not only the estate, but also his father’s nickname — «King Ward». Ward ran for the Isle of Wight Member of Parliament in 1835 but was defeated by Sir Richard Simeon, both important landowners of the Isle of Wight. Sir Richard Simeon ordered his tenants to vote for anyone. However, it has been said that you will not find a single person on the estate of George Ward who would dare to vote against him. It was a very violent campaign with some violent outbursts. During the official nomination, events escalated strongly and another fight broke out. One voter asked Ward if it was true that he had promised a local family to arrange for several of their family members to be released from prison in exchange for them voting for him. Ward replied that he would not answer that question. [27] Ward was described as a man of «retirement age who seldom took part in Coase’s affairs.» In fact he was also a County Magistrate, although he refused to act in that capacity. [28] In 1845, Prince Albert and Sir Edward Boater visited Northwood House and spent two hours touring the house and grounds. J. H. Ward recently spent £20,000 on «decorations by foreign artists» and spared no expense in landscaping. They were considered to contain the finest collection of evergreens in England. [29] In 1846 he entertained Sir George Hamilton Seymour, minister at Brussels. Sir George was the son of Lord George Seymour, who owned nearby Norris Castle. [30] George Henry Ward married Mary Saunders, daughter of Esq. Richard Saunders. However, she died in 1938 without issue, leaving George Henry Ward without an immediate heir. Next in line to the homestead was William George Ward, son of George Henry Ward’s younger brother, the famous cricketer, William Ward. [31] William Ward just did not inherit the estate himself, as he died June 30, 1849, only three months before his elder brother George Henry Ward, who died September 29, 1849. This did not stop his son from inheriting the estate as he is still next in line. William George Ward (1849 — 1882) After the death of his uncle the estate passed to William George Ward, a theologian and mathematician. In 1834 he was awarded an open fellowship to Balliol College, Oxford, for his work in mathematics. He also published many articles on ethics, religion and moral philosophy, having converted from the Church of England to the Roman Catholic Church in 1845. In 1851 he became professor of moral philosophy at St Edmund’s College Ware and in 1863 he became editor of the Dublin Review, a Catholic periodical. In 1852, Northwood House was reported to have been leased for ten years to be used as a Catholic building. seminary. [32] However, by 1853 it was written that the house was occupied by Robert White-Esq. as an educational institution. Later, by 1858, the house was reoccupied by its rightful owner, William George Ward. [33] In 1858, William Ward donated part of the property to the people of Cowes for use as a public walk and playground. It was proposed to use the lower part for walking, and the upper part as a cricket ground. His father, of course, was an outstanding first class cricketer. [34] In 1858, Ward was visited by the Cardinal Sage. [35] By 1864 the house was occupied by Mr. Stevenson, [36] but it must have been for a relatively short period. By 1867 it was occupied by James Dunkin Lee, who had been empty for a long time. [37] In 1871 Ward moved the family seat in Totland, Weston Manor and Headon Hall building, to Alum Bay. His nickname was «Perfect» Ward. [38] Edmund Granville Ward (1882-1915) After the death of his father, the estate passed to his eldest son, Edmund Granville Ward. He married Gertrude Jane Mary Dormer, daughter of the Hon. Hubert Francis Dormer May 28, 1885 However, in 1896 the marriage was annulled. He died on September 2, 1915. [39] However, Edmund’s family home was Egypt House, Egypt Hill, Cowes, and so the house was empty for several years. [40] However, shortly after its acquisition, Edmund allowed the use of the house of the Royal Yacht Squadron in 1882 to host a grand ball in honor of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, who had recently been appointed Commodore of the Squadron. His wife, the Princess of Wales, and many of the nobility of the day were present. The guest list included marquesses, viscounts, earls, lords, earls, knights, many men of military rank and their associates. Entertainment provided by The Hungarian Band [41] and all men present were required to wear blue cloth navy jackets with brass buttons, blue trousers, white waistcoats with black ties. This shape is considered to be a revival of an even older fashion which was said to be «very suitable for men who are not too square». [42] In 1884 Northwood House was used by Lord Petre to house forty to fifty boys from his Woburn School, after the school at Weybridge was sold. [43] Shortly thereafter, in 1885, a football match was played at Northwood House between the boys from Woburn House and the Cowes Football Club, resulting in a 1-1 draw. [44] . The school failed shortly thereafter, as had his Weybridge school before. In 1886 the Royal Yacht Squadron again held their annual ball at Northwood House, and the Hungarian Orchestra again provided music. It was truly a royal event. Participants included The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Crown Prince and Princess of Germany, Princesses Victoria, Margaret and Sophia of Germany, Duchess of Edinburgh, Princess Louise, Princess Henry of Battenberg, Prince Albert Victor, Prince George, Princesses Louise, Victoria and Maud Wales, Princess Irene Hessian and Maharaja of Cooch Behar. [45] In 1889 the Isle of Wight County Council sold the remaining tenement houses. The Northwood House toll house was sold to the Western Council local council for £30. [46] Granville Ward also generously provided all tenants of his Ward estate with a 15% rent reduction. [47] In August 1889, a grand garden party was held at Northwood House, again attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as Princesses Victoria and Maud. It was held to raise money for the organ and vestry fund of the Coase family. Church of the Holy Trinity. Other participants included Princess Louise, the Marquis of Lorne, Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar and his wife, and many lords and ladies of his day. The music was provided by the Oxfordshire Light Infantry. Lord Colville’s Black Poodle received much praise for raising money for the conversion, as he roamed invitingly among the guests with a piggy bank around his neck. Unfortunately, the party was abruptly cut short when heavy rain ruined the work. [48] In 1891 Northwood House was placed at the disposal of Prince Henry of Battenberg and his wife Beatrice, daughter of Queen Victoria. There they held a grand ball, which was attended by several members of the royal family and 300 nobles of the Isle of Wight. Those present included the Duke and Duchess of Connaught and the Duke of Clarence, once rumored to be a Jack the Ripper candidate. Others included the Marquis of Lorne, the Count of Mensdorff and the Lord and Lady Tennyson. The event has been described as the most colorful gathering ever to take place on the island. [49] The purpose of the event was to celebrate the name of Prince Henry. Governor of the Isle of Wight and Keeper of Carisbrook Castle, after the late Viscount Eversleigh. [50] Although she did not attend the event, Queen Victoria visited the house in advance to witness the preparations. The event was supposed to take place in Osborne House, but because the new banquet hall was not completed there. [51] But from 1901 to 1906, Northwood House became a monastery for 80 people. Benedictine nuns expelled from France when the new law was passed. The law allowed the French government to close any religious institutions that were Jesuit, Dominican or Benedictine. Among the many interior alterations, the ballroom was converted into a chapel, becoming the largest hall in the building. Their life in Northwood was very closed, and they were said to never leave it except in an emergency. [52] One of the nuns was Princess Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, widow of the Duke of Braganza, who died in 1866. The princess’ generosity allowed the nuns to move into their former home in Solesmes, France. [53] Around the same time in 1901, the Benedictine monks also settled at Appuldurcombe House on the Isle of Wight before moving to Quarr Abbey where they still reside. The nuns at Northwood House were visited by the new King and Queen in 1902 while traveling on the Isle of Wight. [54] They visited the new convent and its chapel there. In 1905 more members of the royal family visited the nuns. Queen of Saxony. [55] Then in 1906 Princess Ena, who was soon to be married to the King of Spain, was a regular visitor, attending Mass with the nuns. [56] In 1906 the nuns opened Ryde College as their permanent home and left Northwood House. [57] Later, in 1909, Northwood Park was converted into a nine-hole golf course. Wilfrid Philip Ward (1915-1916) Due to the absence of an heir, the estate passed for a short time to Edmund’s younger brother, Wilfrid Philip Ward, publicist and biographer. At that time he was a lecturer at the Lowell Institute, Boston and, like his father, he also became editor of the Dublin Review. He also wrote at least four biographies, including those of his father, Cardinal Sage, Aubrey Thomas de Vere and Cardinal Newman. He was also one of the founders of the «Synthetic Society», a Knowledge Society that was formed as a result of a dinner conversation he had with former Prime Minister Arthur Balfour in 1896 year. The community discussed issues such as agnostic tendencies and religious beliefs. [58] Ward has been described as one of the «two leading secular English Catholic thinkers of his generation». [59] and was a prominent member of the Oxford movement. [60] Wilfrid Ward was married to Josephine Mary Hope-Scott, daughter of James Hope-Scott and Lady Victoria Howard, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk. [61] While living at Weston Manor, Totland, he was said to be a neighbor and close friend of Lord Tennison. [62] He died in 1916, leaving an estate worth £10,658. [63] During the First World War, Northwood House was requisitioned by the War Department and it was used as a Red Cross military hospital. [64] In 1915, Princess Louis of Battenberg and her daughter Princess Louise, who later became Queen of Sweden, visited a Red Cross hospital to visit sick and wounded soldiers. [65] Later that year Princess Henry of Battenberg and Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll visited the soldier. [66] From 1914 to 1919, when the hospital closed, 1,894 patients were treated there. [67] Captain Herbert Joseph Ward (1916-1929) After the death of his father, the estate passed to Captain Herbert Joseph Ward, who, like many of his predecessors, preferred to live elsewhere. Captain Ward lived at Egypt House, Cowes; and so, since the closure of the Red Cross Hospital in 1919, Northwood House has stood empty. In 1919, Ward began selling off much of the family’s land. [68] and in 1929 he made the decision to transfer the house and the remaining 29 acres of land to the people of Cowes, to be administered by the Cowes Borough Council. The house was to be used as a town hall and municipal offices, and the land was to be converted into amusement parks for the people of Cowes. [69] Captain Ward died in 1967. Isle of Wight Council Years (1929 — 2010) In 1929, Capt. Herbert Joseph Ward, JP and chairman of the council donated the house and estate to Cowes Borough Council. Property deeds received by Her Royal Highness Princess Heinrich of Battenberg on 4 September 1929 years as Royal Governor of the Isle of Wight. [2] She, in turn, gave them to Mr. F. W. Becken, Chairman of the Cowes Borough Council. Tennis courts were built for public use the following year. During World War II the house was also used as a Red Cross First Aid Station and as a base for Air Raid Wardens. Parts of the land were used to grow vegetables as part of the Dig for Victory military campaign, and there was also a bomb shelter on the site. A bomb was reportedly dropped on the tennis courts. [70] In 1940, a charity event was held at Northwood House to raise money for the Spitfire Foundation. The captured Messerschmitt was put on display for the event. [71] Later in 1941, a concert was held at Northwood House to entertain the soldiers, although unfortunately only five soldiers showed up and the concert was cancelled. [72] In 1947, a bowling alley was added to the estate. The current pavilion was built in 1983/84 when the existing one burned down. [73] In August 1965, over 800 guests attended the Royal Yacht Squadron’s annual ball at Northwood House. Among the guests were Prince Philip and the Spanish Ambassador. [74] In 1998, the Isle of Wight Council received an offer from a developer who planned to convert the house into a hotel. However, a community group calling itself the Friends of Northwood House was formed and opposed the proposal. They won and the idea was shelved. [2] Back in 2002, a charity program was created in which local residents were appointed as «trustees». Thus, while the Council continued to use the building, including its use as a registrar’s office, it was jointly looked after by the Council and volunteers. [2] In 2004, the Isle of Wight Council refurbished the ground floor rooms and moved the Island Registrar’s office to Northwood House. Northwood House Charitable Trust Co Ltd (2010 to present) In 2010, the Isle of Wight Council withdrew entirely from Northwood House, and the Registrar’s office and other council functions were relocated. This left the use and maintenance of the property entirely in the hands of the charity’s volunteers. However, the governance structure was changed in 2012 when the original trust was replaced by the Northwood House Charitable Trust Co. Ltd. [75] The estate is still dependent on volunteers for its maintenance and operation. Occupations required for the home include craftsmen, cleaners, upholsterers, and restorers. For their home garden, they need gardeners, arborists, and landscape designers. 9 «Welcome to Northwood House…». external link Northwood House & Park website Northwood, New Hampshire For the television series featuring the New Hampshire fish and game department, see North Woods Law.
