Thread: Intel's Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz Northwood central processor.

When Intel published it's 2GHz and 2.2GHz Northwood Pentium 4 CPUs, we were here to demonstrate you the finer points of raised on chip cache sizes and a elite more MHz to play with. At that point in time, did you always guess that a mere three months later, we would be back to demonstrate you Intel's flagship assume some other 200 stairs in the right direction? Well, to be honorable, we've been in self-will of the 2.4GHz form of the Pentium 4 Northwood for approximately a month now.

So in wholly truth, Intel was affording these chips still more immediate than at a quarterly cycle rate. We're not certain what's more telling approximately the Pentium 4, the fact that it is well the quickest CPU clock speed in actual or possibly the fact the Intel is barely acquiring warmed up with this chip. To guess the Pentium 4 was brought in simply about a year and a half ago and we are so soon acquiring close to double it's ab initio issued clock speed.





Pentium II and Pentium III CPUs, were Intel's conventional processors for how lots years? Headroom? Oh Yes, 1 would tell Intel has approximately headroom and legroom with this CPU. Intel's "Hyper Pipelined" architecture was constructed for speed, for years to arrive.On the flip side, Intel's top finish clock speed CPUs are ever a small hard on the wallet, when they are 1st inserted.

AMD's Athlon with its tremendous price/functioning ratio is hard to beat. As we accept arrive to recognize, in this economy, folks tend to appear a small deeper beyond the clock speed. So, the queries are how much quicker is this novel 2.4GHz drag racer from Intel and will it compete dollar for dollar, against it's rival Athlon counterpart? Let's accept a appear.Let's talk physics for a instant.
