Intel processors since the 80486, and some of its competitors, have a special instruction known as CPUID. This returns a numerical value that the kernel reads, and can identify what processor is in the system.
Depends on the model, all Pentium 4's running on Northwood are 32 bit, however some of the higher end Prescott and newer chips are 64 bit (Pentium 4 5xx and 6xx series). To find out if your pentium 4 is 64bit search for CPUz on google and that will tell you everything you need to know about your CPU
In this day and age, no. The Intel Pentium 4 534 @ 3.06GHz (Prescott core) is several years old, easily outperformed by AMD chips of it's era, and has massive overheating problems.
pentium 4 more faster
Pentium 4 sockets were sockets numbers Socket 423 for early Pentium 4's. Then socket 478 for Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and Celeron and socket T (LGA 775) for Pentium 4, Pentium D dual core, Celeron D and Pentium Extreme Edition.
As a whole, the Pentium 4 has a higher maximum performance than a Pentium III. The Pentium III performs the same as or better than Pentium 4 at the same clock speed, but the Pentium 4 has a higher max clock speed (which the Pentium 4 was designed for).
Pentium 4 with HT technology runs at the highest speed.
All Cedar Mill and Prescott 2M processors (those in the 6xx line) support EM64T. Prescott processors with a model number of 517, 524, 531, 541, 551, 561, or 571 also support EM64T.
Pentium 4 is more powerful, and has SSE2 instructions. It is powered with HT technology.
how many transitors does the 2000 pentium chip contain
no
There is no Pentium 5 processor. The mainstream (non-budget) Pentium line ends with the Pentium D, which is essentially a dual-core Pentium 4. The Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad all have a very different architecture from the Pentium 4.
All mainstream processors from the Prescott-core Pentium 4 and Venice-core Athlon 64 onward support those instructions.
