Features and benefits
Versatility, performance and reliability to meet all your computing needs
Everyone wants something different from their computer—work, play, Internet, music, learning and more. A PC featuring the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor opens the door to many new experiences. It's as versatile as you are.
Greater performance with Hyper-Threading Technology (HT Technology)†
Hyper-threading enables multi-threaded software applications to execute two software threads in parallel, thereby improving system responsiveness. Intel Pentium 4 Processors enabled with HT Technology deliver performance and multitasking gains that result in increased productivity and efficiency.
Improved power management with enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology‡
Intel Pentium 4 processors that are enabled with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology allow the operating system to adjust the processor clock down when running applications that require less power. Increased power efficiency brings savings.
Scalability and performance with Intel® EM64TΦ
Intel® Extended Memory 64 TechnologyΦ (Intel® EM64T) can improve performance by allowing the system to address more than 4 GB of both virtual and physical memory. Intel EM64T also provides support for 64 bit computing to help handle the applications of tomorrow.
Execute Disable Bit° functionality protects your investment
Execute Disable Bit can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
