Advantages: VERY HIGH SPEED IN PROCESSING
Disadvantages: : MAKES NOISE.

...for more services. So I don't think of finding another substitute or replacements for it sooner. In terms of recommendations, I will recommend this strongly to friends with all assurance of good performances. The Intel Pentium 4 comes in advanced features like the clock speed that is 3GHZ with bus speed of 800MHZ. It has compatible processor socket of LGA775 socket 16 KB cache level size. It has 84 w thermal designs with 90mn manufacturing process. Architecture feature is of the hyper- threading tech and streaming simd extensions 3, execute disable bit capability. It also has 1mb installed size L2 cache and with miscellaneous package type of Intel boxed, Intel boxed (BTX type) So these are the features with the Intel processor so I will recommend this to people and I hope that my review will be helpful to you Bye....

Advantages: Fast and cheap
Disadvantages: Slower than Pentium 4

...’s perfomance can equal the equivalent of a 3 GHZ processor. The Athlon XP runs at a clock speed of only 2.16 GHZ but it can outperform the 2.66 GHZ of Intel. The fronside bus is one thing that AMD has yet to improve, Intel has a massive FSB reaching 800 mhz compared to AMD’s 333 mhz. If you have an old Socket A motherboard which only supports 266 mhz fsb. The Athlon Xp 3000+ will also run but the front side bus will be limited to 266 mhz and will display incorrect clock speed. When it comes to installing this processor is relatively easy. The difficult part is installing the heatsink fan. You should be very careful because it might cause your processor to crack. Pls. check Motherboard’s user’s manual of installing your processor before doing anything. The Athlon XP 3000+ is about 75 bucks cheaper than the Pentium 4 3.06 GHZ The Socket... Read review

Advantages: High Performance, Dual Core at a cheap price
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...I purchased this processor as a cheap temporary cpu for my htpc (home theatre pc). And i have to say it is alot better than i first hoped, although this has quite a slow speed rating (1.6GHz) compared to some of the cpu's available today. this more than outperforms nearly every previous generation processors that came before it! i managed to speed this processor up to 2.4GHz just by raising the FSB in my computers BIOS making it exceptional value for money! Highly advised if you know your way around a computer BIOS. This cpu also runs at some very low temps i am using this in my HTPC passively cooled (no fan) using a third party heatsink and it is only producing temps in the low 30s. And because it is being run with no fan it is 100% quiet. I would recommend this processor to anyone planning on building a budget pc or a quiet HTPC.... Read review

Advantages: Performs Well
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I wrote this a while, back so I am now publishing it on ciao but it is still fairly up to date. I spend a long time writing this. 1 hour: After a simultaneous processor release early in 2002, both Intel and AMD are settling back into the standard pattern of trying to beat the other to the punch. Intel impressed us with the Pentium 4 Northwood, as well as jumping a full 200 MHz with the Pentium 4-2.2 GHz. AMD followed this up with their Athlon XP 2100+, which once again had the juice to slip by the fastest Intel had to offer. The last shot was fired by AMD, so naturally it should be Intel's chance to step up to the plate. And from first glance, Intel seems to be carrying a mighty big bat. With the release of the Pentium 4-2.4 GHz we're seeing yet another 200 MHz speed increase from Intel, which puts even more pressure on the Athlon XP... Read review

Advantages: They are very powewrful processors
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...I'm not if AMD have done this but Intel definitely have. When they introduced the PIII 450 MHz for the first time, they did not mention to the public that it was only 10% faster than it's little brother the Pentium II 450MHz processor. When the gigahertz processor was introduced, it was tested by a popular computer magazine. I found the results to be surprising. In some areas of performance the Gigahertz processor was SLOWER than the 850 MHz processor. When ever a new processor is introduced it is always overpriced. This overpricing is not little it is ridicously high. A month or two after the release the prices drop massively. Then soon after a new processor is introduced, faster and more powerful. When this show will end who knows. These very powerful processors don't even operate to maximum performance because of the operating... Read review

Advantages: Much faster clock speeds, good for games and multimedia applications
Disadvantages: A bit expensive, tricky to upgrage from an existing Pentium chip

...Intel made the first ever showing of the Pentium 4 chip at the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas last Christmas. Pentium 4 based systems currently run at 1.4 and 1.5GHz, they are now appearing in brand names like Dell, Gateway and IBM. This was a key release for Intel as they were facing though competition from their competitors especially AMD. Presently, the AMD Athlon processor costs half the price of a Pentium 3 and performs better in almost every area. Rumours have it that the first Pentium 4 chips are not as fast as the current 1GHz Athlon, and are slower than the 1.2GHz Athlon system with DDR memory. However, the 1.5GHz Pentium 4 chip is excellent for playing games and multimedia devices. PC manufactures have complained about the high costs involved in making a Pentium 4 chip. They may have a point but whenever a new... Read review

Advantages: a lot
Disadvantages: n0

...Hi, I'm Alligator. And i want to present you my new opinion about Intel Pentium 4. Some month ago I usually asked my friend why they wanted to by new Intel Pentium 4. And they usually told me that the 4th has capacity that necessary today then it has the power for the most modern internet programs, fast speed for creation and edition audio and video materials. Then Pentium 4 has production platform that provides submersion in 3d world. But in general they are right but now I can tell you more exact about this high power processor because I made sure myself when I bought Intel Pentium 4. At first there are four types of this processor they are 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz, 1.5 GHz and 1.7 GHz. And it has a lot of new advantages. For example in the games: 1. Capacity that allows synthesizing more detailed images 2. To raise the realism... Read review

Advantages: speed, perormance, no dodgy intel media graphics
Disadvantages: none really

...The processor operates at 1.9 Ghz which is not the fastest processor in the world, the fastest in the family of processors is the Turion TL-66 at 2.3Ghz. This speed is definately not bad though, with many intel laptop processors coming in at around 1.6 Ghz to 2Ghz. The speed is definately more than fast enough for the standard home user and probably fine for business use or even professional use. Although it is not the fastest it is still reasonable, and it has to be said that being a laptop processor it can not be expected to reach the same speeds as desktop processors which I have known to reach 3.2Ghz. For anyone out there who is not technologically minded like me, and who does not understand Ghz, Mhz etc, it is quite fast, that is the simple version. PERFORMANCE The performance of the processor is great and it really is good at being a steady... Read review

Advantages: Price, price, stability,can be overclocked, did I noticed price
Disadvantages: average performer

...This is the last based core duo processor, used for the low end market. But this doesn't mean that the processor is weak. I personally use now it's brother E2160 that is a few faster. As a difference from their brothers, the E4000 and the E 6000 family this processor has a smaller L2 cache of only 1 Mb, instead of 2Mb or 4Mb. The performance hit varies from almost 0% (rendering programs, 3dmax) to a full 35% games at the same frequency, but the price is astonishing. 100% RECOMMENDED Speed: lowest dual core core speed, but enough for all modern aplications, but the processor can be really overclocked...50-90 % with great speed bonuses.Not really recommended for games. Stability: greatest as all new lintel processors Power consumption: best power consumption for years. draws about 45-50w at full speed and 12w idle (L2 great stepping... Read review

Advantages: Good reliable, and good performance
Disadvantages: too pricey

...Bill Gates is the richest geezer in the world, so why does he have to make even more money, he can't spend what he has already got. He is a money grabbing, cash stealing psycho. OK, his software and processors etc are exceptional, the speed and performance is brilliant, including the new pentium iv, but why does he have to charge so much. I have recently bought a new computer with a thunderbird 750 mhz processor and it is brilliant, the performance matches that pentium stuff, but guess what, it only cost be £400, for the whole computer. Don't buy pentium, go for cheaper makes, that perform just as well, in the end (if we all do that) Bill will realise that he is a twat and will lower his prices.... Read review
