1-5 of 5 reviews of Intel Pentium 4 3 GHz processor sort by Usefulness | Product rating | Date

 

Fast and efficient

Advantages: Fast. extremely fast.
Disadvantages: 2 in 1

The competition between AMD and Intel has become intense. AMD’s got the Athlon XP 3000+ while Intel has Pentium 3.0 GHZ. The competition in the CPU market hasn’t become any weaker. Despite the fact that both major processor developers, AMD and Intel, have almost run out of the scalability potential of their current processor cores, the companies keep on the armament drive by seeking new ways to speed up their CPUs. The shift to new 90nm technology, ...
...without any difficulty, is expected to take place only in the end of this year – beginning of the next year. Therefore, the only weapon for the CPU developers will be the processor bus frequency increase, which doesn’t require and changes in the processor core. This Processor is a very awesome processor, it comes with 512kb L2 cache but has the same Northwood core that was released last January 2002, It can be compared to the Athlon XP 3200+ in ...

you wont find much better for the price.

Advantages: Quick, Cool, Easy to install
Disadvantages: Not the fastest, but only costs about £120

...design by the researchers at Intel that has given way to a new era in processing capability and true multi tasking properties. With support from Windows XP, motherboard and CPU your system will see two "logical" processors for the one actual CPU, still not able to deliver same performance levels as a proper dual processing system but offers lower costs and power consumption. Hyper-Threading capable processors (currently only 3.06GHz) execute two ...
...Conclusion In conclusion Intel have really designed a winner CPU, the 3.00GHz with HT really packs a punch and features some latest advances in technology like Hyper-Threading which is a brilliant creation, not to discount the extra MHz speed and 800Mhz bus, 1MB L2 cache among other improvements. All these features make the 3.00Ghz a killer product and the best money can buy. Also worth a mention is Intel special design which allows the CPU to ...

Lots of improvements still not enough.

Advantages: 1 mb L2 cache, cheaper.
Disadvantages: Your old socket 478 might not work.

Intel has come up with a new core again: This one is called the Prescott: The Prescott has 1mb l2 cache which is distinguished by the name “Pentium 4 Prescott 3.0 GHZ”. It is a little bit slower than its Northwood counterpart. This processor has 13 new instructions in it which refer to as SSE 3. This new instructions are added to be able to optimized the different applications or programs that our Computer uses. The new improvements are very significant ...
...the Prescott also increases because Intel is planning to maximize the clock speeds of the future processors up to 4 GHZ by the end of 2004. The Prescott appears to be smaller only 112 square millimeters compared to the Northwood’s 146 square millimeters. The Prescott will also offer some kind virus protection by implementing an execution protection (NX) technology. The (NX) technology separates the application and data to prevent buffer overflows. ...

Pentium 3GHZ....Not fast enough!!

Advantages: Price, value, performance, ease of setup
Disadvantages: Extreme performance outruled, long term viability...

As one of the more standard - mid-high end processors available today, the 3ghz chip is useful for most average and moderately demanding programs and games. When coupled with the correct memory, and graphics card you cant really go wrong, however for users who demand the most out of their system it doesnt really fit the bill. For a start, its an excellent product if you're on a budget, weighing in at less then £120 nowadays its a real bargain. BUT, ...
...fanatics who loves to squeeze every last bit of juice out of their system, its not ideally a system you'll want to be purchasing soon, considering 4GHZ+ chips are now available. Works like a dream for me, easy to install, easy to follow the instructions, and help from intels website like ive never seen. The games I tested using it: DOOM3, FarCry, and 3dMark cpu tester. All came out relatively well, but thats considering i have a 9600XT graphics ...

One mean processor

Advantages: Very fast.
Disadvantages: expensive

The Pentium 4c 3.0 ghz is running at 800 mhz front side bus which actually 200 mhz this because it is quad pumped. It has an L2 cache of 512k. The dfference between this cpu from the Pentium 4c is the new type of technology called Hyper Threading. The hyperthreading technology allows the cpu to work on different threads at the same time instead of waiting for the first thread to finished. The front side bus of the Pentium 4c is much faster than those ...
...today is only 400 mhz. To be able to solve this problem, When buying a motherboard choose a mobo with a dual channel capability to be able to double the data rate to 800 mhz. By increasing the bus speed the pentium 4 was able to improve the performance of its platforms, this is only possible because of the dual channel capability if the chipsets.The hyper threading technology proved to be a really smart way to increase the system performance. This ...
