"Classic" Pentiums were available with clock speeds of 60, 66, 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, and 200 Mhz. Pentiums with MMX extensions were available in 120, 133, 150, 166, 200, 233, 266, and 300 MHz.
No Intel Pentium 4 processor was ever manufactured running at a clock speed of 500MHz. However, the previous product line, the Pentium III, had several variants running at that clock speed.
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).
The original Pentium processor, released by Intel in 1994, had a clock speed of 60 MHz and later models were available at 66 MHz. This was a significant advancement at the time, offering improved performance over its predecessor, the 486 processor. The Pentium's architecture allowed for better multitasking and processing capabilities, which contributed to its popularity.
The optimal fan speed depends on the size of the heatsink and the clock rate of your processor. As such, there is no single answer.
This is dependent on the type of code being run, as well as the clock speed of the processors. 16-bit code, for instance, was much slower on the Pentium Pro than the Pentium, while 32-bit operations were generally slightly faster.
The first Intel Pentium processors, introduced in 1994, had a speed range of 60 to 66 MHz. These early processors marked a significant advancement in performance over their predecessors, featuring superscalar architecture that allowed for better instruction processing. The Pentium line quickly expanded with higher clock speeds in subsequent releases.
The fastest "classic" Pentium is clocked at 200 Mhz. The fastest Pentium with MMX extension is clocked at 300 Mhz. The fastest Pentium II is clocked at 400 Mhz. The fastest Pentium III is clocked at 1.4 Ghz. The fastest Pentium 4 is clocked at 3.8 Ghz. The fastest Pentium D is clocked at 3.7 Ghz. The fastest Pentium M is clocked at 2.26 Ghz. The fastest Pentium Dual-Core is clocked at 2.5 Ghz.
I don't think they will try to run from you, so no concerns about their speed.
Very little, actually. The Pentium Dual-Core has a smaller L2 cache, making it just slightly slower than a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed.

This varies from 233mhz to 450mhz
Core 2 Duo is FASTER. Pentium M is based on OLD technology and run on a SINGLE PROCESSING CORE whereas the CORE 2 DUO has 2 PROCESSING CORES. It has higher CLOCK SPEED, FSB, CACHE. Simple!
