Review @ AnandTechWith the 570J being the last desktop Pentium 4 launched in 2004 (once again, not counting the Extreme Edition), it looks like AMD will close out this year on top, which is fitting considering how strong AMD has been throughout the entire year.
Looking at the performance of the Pentium 4 570J it's clear that had Intel launched the 4GHz Pentium 4 things would have been much more competitive than we first thought. AMD would still hold the crown in gaming performance, but Intel would have been able to pick up a lot of lost steam in other areas and continue to solidify leads in content creation, 3D rendering and encoding applications.
We're still being cautiously pessimistic about the types of performance gains we'll see from the upcoming 600 series of CPUs from Intel. As you may have already read, Intel is planning on doubling the L2 cache of Prescott and launching a new 600 series of CPUs next year. With twice the L2 cache Intel will attempt to get most of the benefits of an on-die memory controller, mainly reduced memory access latencies, without actually implementing one. We've seen the positive impact this can have with Intel's Extreme Edition chips, but even then, it may not be enough. Raw clock speed is what the Pentium 4's architecture was designed for, and only that will give Intel a commanding lead - unfortunately for them 3.8GHz does seem to be the end of the road for quite a while.

Review @ The Tech ReportWith apologies to the P4 Extreme Edition, the Pentium 4 570J may well be the all-around fastest Pentium 4 processor. If not, it's close enough. The 570J will list for $637—not a bargain by any stretch, but well below the Extreme's $999 price tag.
That price also puts the P4 570J just below the Athlon 64 3800+, which lists for $643 and is selling for about that. Based on our overall performance numbers, that sounds about right. The Athlon 64 3800+ walloped the 570J in nearly every gaming and graphics test we threw at it, but the 570J pulled out higher score in WorldBench on the strength of good performance in media encoding apps and MS Office.
The Pentium 4 570J is a solid choice for those who simply don't care about gaming, graphics, or running older programs with lots of x87 floating-point math. Right now, though, AMD's Athlon 64 processors offer more balanced overall performance with fewer obvious weaknesses, less heat production, and more frugal power consumption. The Athlon 64 also has a couple of key technology advantages still, including AMD's 64-bit extensions. The Pentium 4 won't gain similar capabilities, in the form of Intel's EM64T extensions, until the P4 600 series debuts early next year. Review @ FiringSquadNot that Intel is out of the frying pan with its latest release – far from it. At 3.8GHz, the Pentium 4 gains virtually nothing with regard to gaming performance. It does manage to post the fastest media encoding benchmark, but for those who prioritize the speed with which their games run, Intel is still searching for a suitable answer. Its Pentium M is looking mighty tasty at this point, ironically, but we’ll have more on that in the future.
The chip’s latest stepping, which adds support for XD-bit (Data Execution Prevention in Windows XP Service Pack 2, also improves the architectures headroom, reflected in our overclocking results. It does not, however, support EMT64, according to Intel, though it does purportedly feature an enhanced thermal state to help cut back on thermal output.
At the end of the day, Intel has a more valuable product in the Pentium 4 570J, performance, features, and price considered; however, it doesn’t have a winning combination quite yet. AMD is still offers more competitive performance, a better feature set, and in most cases, a lower price. With the addition of nForce4 to the Athlon 64’s platform stable, AMD chips can be accompanied by the same motherboard-level features as Intel’s Pentium 4 to boot.
