The Pentium 4 does have other advantages over the Pentium III, analysts said. It packs an improved floating point unit and a new set of multimedia instructions, called SSE2, ...

The Pentium 4 also promises a significant clock-speed advantage over Advanced Micro Devices's current Athlon -- but that doesn't necessarily mean the Pentium 4 is faster.

The Pentium 4 would be built on several new technologies and principles, and leave existing CPUs looking like relics of yesteryear. At least, that was the idea. Intel NetBurst architecture.

Now, you obviously can't test the Pentium 4 630's 64-bit performance against the Pentium 4 530, but you can put it up against the Athlon 64. Here, too, there's not much to get excited about.

Intel's New 2.4GHz Pentium 4 Northwood 200MHz more, like a walk in the park By, Dave Altavilla April 2, 2002 When Intel released it's 2GHz and ...

The Pentium 4 can handily run Windows 7. The operating system's only CPU requirements are a clock speed of at least 1 GHz, support for 32- or 64-bit computing and the ability to support at least ...

Pentium 4 chips were first built with 180nm process technology and subsequently shrunk to 130, 90 and 65 nm. From Rambus to DDR Memory. Pentium 4 chips support from 2GB to 8GB of DDR memory.

In this Pentium 4 Northwood 2.2GHz vs. Athlon XP 2000+ comparison: we cover specs, performance, and their key differences in great detail.

Pentium 4 is "definitely an architecture that doesn't fit well in mobile. Obviously, Intel realizes that or they wouldn't be developing 'Banias' for 2003," he said.

By reshuffling the Pentium 4 this way, Intel was able to eliminate 25 percent of the P4's pipeline stages, which resulted in a 15 percent performance boost from the shorter pipeline alone.

Via's new offering means Pentium 4 PCs using double data rate memory could show up as soon as the end of next month, ahead of Intel's schedule for introducing DDR in its chipsets.
