Current Pentium 4s have a 512KB cache and Prescott will have a 1MB cache. With the extra-large cache, the Extreme Edition will outperform Prescott, Brookwood said, and will likely sell for more.

Since then, Pentium chips have been primarily found in entry-level workstation desktops and laptops. The Celeron was introduced in 1998 as a CPU for budget and low-end systems.

The “x3 circuit”, a nontrivial portion of the Pentium processor, is dedicated to multiplying a number by exactly three and contains more transistors than an entire Z80 microprocessor.

The Pentium product line launched in 1993 and the Celeron processor series made its debut five years later, in 1998. The original Pentium chip featured 3.1 million transistors made using a 800 ...

The Pentium G3258 is built from the same 22nm Haswell building blocks as the recent Devil's Canyon processors, but doesn't have the new-fangled thermal interface material or extra capacitors. That ...

The 3.4GHz Pentium 4 550 slipped by 33 percent from $417 to $278. The 3.2GHz Pentium 4 540 dipped 22 percent from $278 to $218. The 3GHz Pentium 4 530 is down 18 percent, from $218 to $178.

Intel recalled the Pentium P5 chip in 1995 that produced errors for certain calculations. The recalled chips were turned into keychains for Intel employees. The keychains had an inscription from ...

The Pentium 4, at 2.9GHz, simply blazes a trail that no single-CPU system can compare with. If DVD encoding is your hobby, and you don't have access to a dual-CPU machine, the Intel Pentium 4 is ...

To test the Pentium G4560, we put together a budget-orientated PC gaming set-up. The Z270 boards we've previously used for reviewing the unlocked Core 'K' chips are replaced with a more modest MSI ...

Banias, or the Pentium M (as it's now called) is clearly the latest and greatest version of Intel's venerable "P6" microarchitecture, on which Intel's 32-bit desktop chips from the Pentium Pro ...
