A few new sockets came out with Pentium 4. I know 423, 478, and 775 were used during this time.

It was based on the Netburst architecture, which was new with this version of Pentium. Northwood was one of the new revisions of pentium 4, that's new too.

The most gaping new technology was HTT. Hyperthreading Technology, which actually did not premier with the Pentium 4, but was developed late in the life of P4, and applied for the first time here.

How do you upgrade from an Intel Pentium II to an Intel Pentium 4?

That would require purchasing a new motherboard, processor, and power supply.


Is Pentium dual core processor the same as Pentium d processor?

No. A Pentium Dual Core is a cost-reduced version of a Core 2 Duo. Think of it as the new equivalent of a Celeron. The Pentium D is basically a dual-cored version of the Pentium 4, but is far less efficient than a Core 2 Duo (or a Pentium Dual Core).


What are the features of Intel microprocessors?

The Pentium family of processors, which has its roots in the Intel486(TM) processor, uses the Intel486 instruction set (with a few additional instructions). The term ''Pentium processor'' refers to a family of microprocessors that share a common architecture and instruction set. The first Pentium processors (the P5 variety) were introduced in 1993. This 5.0-V processor was fabricated in 0.8-micron bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. The P5 processor runs at a clock frequency of either 60 or 66 MHz and has 3.1 million transistors. The next version of the Pentium processor family, the P54C processor, was introduced in 1994. The P54C processors are fabricated in 3.3-V, 0.6-micron BiCMOS technology. The P54C processor also has System Management Mode (SMM) for advanced power management The Intel Pentium processor, like its predecessor the Intel486 microprocessor, is fully software compatible with the installed base of over 100 million compatible Intel architecture systems. In addition, the Intel Pentium processor provides new levels of performance to new and existing software through a reimplementation of the Intel 32-bit instruction set architecture using the latest, most advanced, design techniques. Optimized, dual execution units provide one-clock execution for "core" instructions, while advanced technology, such as superscalar architecture, branch prediction, and execution pipelining, enables multiple instructions to execute in parallel with high efficiency. Separate code and data caches combined with wide 128-bit and 256-bit internal data paths and a 64-bit, burstable, external bus allow these performance levels to be sustained in cost-effective systems. The application of this advanced technology in the Intel Pentium processor brings "state of the art" performance and capability to existing Intel architecture software as well as new and advanced applications. The Pentium processor has two primary operating modes and a "system management mode." The operating mode determines which instructions and architectural features are accessible.


Is a Intel Pentium Processor P6100 good?

It should be fine. Before someone says its based on old Pentium technology, it isn't. The new Intel Pentium Dual Core processors are based on the Core 2 Duo core architecture (Merom-2M). However it doesnt share the same amount of cache as the Core 2 Duo laptop versions have. Although I have one for my new laptop which I use for basic work each day. I have a proper desktop PC which I use to play games and such. But expect the same technology and enhancements you see on the Core 2 Duo to be on the Pentium Dual-Core.


Are there different types of computer processors If so how many and what are their names and brand names?

There are onlu TWO types of processors. These are: 1. Intel 2. AMD And of course there are some different processors that do different things, even though they are the same brand name. A Macintosh processor is different from a Windows processor, because the Macintosh processor (my opinion) is more powerful. There are also different processors for different for different types of technology. A PDA would have 64-bit processor, but they are under Intel. The United States is the only country that makes processors, both Intel and AMD. The specific types of processors are: Intel: (These are the current ones that most people have) 1. Pentium Pro 2. Pentium II 3. Celeron (Pentium Based But More Powerful) 4. Pentium II Xeon 5. Pentium III 6. Pentium II and III Xeon 7. Celeron (New Generation, Pentium III Based) 8. Pentium 4 (Most common) 9. Pentium M 10. Intel Core 11. Dual Core Xeon LV 12. Intel Pentium Dual Core 13. Intel Core 2 14. Pentium Duo 15. Pentium Dual Core 16. Core 2 Quad 16. (Newest) Intel Pentuim 2 Dual Core Processor Amd: (The Current One's) 1. AMD Athlon 2. AMD Athlon 64 3. AMD Athlon X2 4. AMD Athlon Xp 5. AMD Duron 6. AMD Sempron 7. AMD Turion 8. AMD Opteron 9. AMD Phenom 1. The PowerPC processor (formerly used in some MacIntosh computers) is used in the Xbox 360, the Wii, and the PlayStation 3. The most popular 32 bit processor (in terms of units sold) is the ARM processor.


Which is more powerful Pentium pro or xeon processor?

Xeon by far and away; it was designed as a server processor. The Pro introduced some new features many years ago when it came into being.


Difference between Pentium D and core 2 duo?

A P4 processor is fast, but the Pentium D is much faster. The D stands for Dual Core. This means that they have two on die processor cores instead of just one, as the Pentium 4 does. Two processors also makes it better for "demanding" applications. The Pentium D is better if you have a motherboard that will utilize the technology. As stated the Pentium D is Duel core. This is Intel's way of creating the closest environment of a true duel processor. The HT is for Hyper-Threading which acts like a zipper and allows several applications to process at the same time. The Pentium D will really make a difference when used with the new 64 bit operating system. However, HT (Hyper-threading) P4, does have emulated Dual Core processing. In short, the processor makes the computer think its runing a dual core. The Pentium 4 also has a couple different levels, so if you are trying to make a comparison, make sure that you look carefully. Although neither can match the power of an Athalon or an AMD x2 processor. If you are buying, get something with 64 bit processing. WAY faster and better for games and high graphic systems.


If you get a new CPU is it a new computer?

No its getting a new processor it is called the Central Processing Unit CPU and it is the brains of the computer, it is what makes the computer run programs. Ex of Processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core or AMD Turion getting a new and improved processer makes your computer run faster.


Which Intel processor family is better performing the Pentium family or the Core family?

The processors from the Pentium family are extremely old. They were performing great for their time, but nowadays the new multi core CPUs such as Core2Duo are much faster. This is because of the new architecture of the CPU and the second, third, fourth core.


Can i use the used processor to take a new windows setup with new mother board?

yes you can take new windows set up for used processor with your new motherboard....


Is 775 800fsb Pentium dual core c2d derivative a drop-in replacement for 775 800fsb Pentium d without requiring a new motherboard?

Check with the motherboard processor compatibility sheet of the motherboard you have first. A BIOS update may be needed for your current motherboard.


How to change the Pentium 4 to i core?

The Intel Pentium 4 core cannot be changed to an "i-series" core (i3, i5, i7) because the architecture is completely different (and frankly, out of date). The only way to have a i-series processor is to buy a new computer which has one. The Intel Pentium series was discontinued in 2008. The Intel i-series began in 2010.
