  Intel® Pentium® 4 Processors for Embedded Computing - Overview
While incorporating Intel's most advanced embedded processor technologies, the Intel Pentium 4 processor, Intel Prentium 4 Processor with HT Technology, and Intel Pentium 4 processor - M are software-compatible with previous Intel®; Architecture processors.
Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology: Available at 3.0 GHz and 3.4 GHz with 1M or 2M cache, and a 800 MHz front side bus delivering 6.4 GB of data per second into and out of the processor.
Intel Pentium 4 Processor: Available at 2.0 GHz and 2.6 GHz with a 400 MHz front side bus delivering 3.2 GB of data per second and at 2.8 and 2.4 GHz with a 533 MHz front side bus delivering 4.2 GB of data per second into and out of the processor.

  Pentium 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pentium 4 is a seventh-generation x86 architecture microprocessor produced by Intel and is their first all-new CPU design, called the NetBurst architecture, since the Pentium Pro of 1995.
The original Pentium 4, codenamed "Willamette", ran at 1.4 and 1.5 GHz and was released in November 2000 on the Socket 423 platform.
Pentium 4 processors use a frontside bus that transfers data on all four corners of the square wave (rising, peak, falling, and trough), instead of on one corner as older processors do, so the actual square wave that controls the clock runs at one-quarter of the FSB frequency.

The original Pentium 4, codenamed "Willamette", ran at 1.4 and 1.5 GHz and was released in November 2000.
To the surprise of most observers, the Pentium 4 did not improve on the old P6 design in either of the normal two key performance measures: integer processing speed or floating-point performance: instead, it sacrificed orthodox performance in order to gain two things: very high clockspeeds, and SSE performance.

 X-bit labs - Articles - Intel Pentium 4 570J CPU Review
We are talking about the Intel Pentium 4 570J CPU which is based on the Prescott core and works at 3.8GHz frequency.
The Pentium 4 570J, which is going to become the highest-performing CPU in the Pentium 4 series, will be a competitor to the recently-announced AMD Athlon 64 4000+.
After examining the newcomer in detail we will try to answer the question which CPU family, Pentium 4 or Athlon 64, can be called the leader of the market on the eve of the new year.

Pentium 4's hardware prefetch is probably able to significantly accelerate the execution of software that is using a lot of large data arrays.
Pentium 4 requires a new kind of power supply that ensures the delivery of 10-12 A from the 12V line of the power supply.
Although we managed to run all of our Pentium 4 test motherboards with a normal power supply as well, we encourage every Pentium 4 owner to ensure he's got one of the new power supplies that come with two additional connectors that need to be plugged into the motherboard.

 X-bit labs - Articles - Intel Pentium 4 670 CPU Review
This CPU with 2MB L2 cache memory and 3.8GHz clock frequency is destined to become practically the last model in the Pentium 4 family.
At the same time it would be incorrect to consider the launch of Pentium 4 670 as a final stage of the NetBurst architecture evolution.
However the upcoming 65nm Pentium 4 processors are positioned in such a way that we will never see them hit the 3.8GHz frequency point.

 bit-tech.net | Intel Pentium 4 670 & Pentium D 820
The Pentium D 820 is the slowest of Intel's dual core processors, but that should not put you off immediately as it comes with a very healthy price tag.
One thing to note with the Pentium D is that only the Extreme Edition supports Intel's HyperThreading technology, the slower cores don't support it and we're likely to see Intel move away from HyperThreading when they bring out their next generation CPU architecture, which was uncovered earlier this week.

 Pentium 4
I've been studying Intel's publicly available white papers on the Pentium 4 for the good part of 6 months now, and while the chip looked promising on paper, the actual first release of the chip is a castrated version at best of the ideal chip that Intel set out to design.
From 66 MHz in the Celeron and Pentium II, to 100 and 133 MHz in the Pentium III, to 200 MHz in the AMD Athlon.
While on the Pentium III we have the situation that the decoder can feed up to 3 instructions and 6 micro-ops (4+1+1) to the core per clock cycle, the Pentium 4 is crippled to the point of decoding one instruction per cycle and feeding at most 3 micro-ops to the code per clock cycle.

 Review: Intel Pentium 4 CPU
Pentium III or Athlon - or even Celeron or Duron - systems which give performance close to, or in some cases better than, that of the early model P4s can be had for much less money.
The Pentium 4 will in the future, though, probably be a pretty spiffy chip.
This is a bit of a blow for Intel's marketroids, who've been selling dual-CPU Pentium Pro, P-II, P-III and Xeon systems to the PC workstation crowd for years, but now have to turn around and deny all of their "if it's got one CPU, it's not a workstation" palaver.

While the Pentium 4 hasn’t been out long enough to expect for a huge turn around in the demands of today’s commonly used applications, today Intel is announcing the first Pentium 4 clock speed increase over the 1.5GHz P4 that was launched five months ago. 
Another issue the Pentium 4 has in terms of being able to maintain a low price is that it has an extremely large die meaning that the cost of manufacturing is fairly high.  This won’t change until the third quarter of this year when the 0.13-micron Pentium 4 is released.
From a price standpoint, the Pentium 4 is still a few steps away from being as affordable as the AMD Athlon is however the conditions have improved tremendously since the Pentium 4 was launched last year.  And there are no indications of these conditions deteriorating over time, they should only improve.
