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 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 ...

Currently, the fastest Pentium III operates at 1.13 GHz and sells for $990. The company's cheapest Celeron, by contrast, sells for less than $100. Intel hasn't yet announced pricing for the Pentium 4.

The Pentium 4 routes information around the computer at three times the speed of the Pentium III. It includes a "Rapid Execution Engine," which crunches numbers like an abacus operator on caffeine.

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.

The Pentium 4 641, clocked at 3.2GHz, but with the same cache and FSB, will go for $74; the 3.4Ghz Pentium 4 651 will sell for $84. All three processors currently cost $163 in quantities of 1,000.

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 ...

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.

Intel's Pentium 4 3.06GHz Processor Intel breaks 3GHz barrier and introduces Hyperthreading to the mainstream By, Dave Altavilla and ...

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.
