Description
Intel 0.13 micron process technology enables the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor to further extend its leadership with a larger cache, a higher frequency, and lower power. The Pentium 4 processor with 512-KB L2 cache on 0.13 micron process is designed for high-performance desktops and entry level workstations, and is binary compatible with previous Intel Architecture processors. The Pentium 4 processor delivers great performance for applications running on operating systems such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Me, Windows 98, and UNIX. In addition, systems based on Pentium 4 processors include the latest features to simplify system management and lower the total cost of ownership for large and small business environments. The Pentium 4 processor has been designed for the next decade of computing. The product clearly delivers better performance on basic everyday uses. However, the product is designed for much more interactive, highly integrative usage models such as collaborative workgroups, Internet audio and streaming video, image processing, video content creation, speech, 3-D, games, multimedia, and multitasking user environments. It also delivers a world-class user experience across basic standalone office applications

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.80 GHz Processor
Strengths: Great performance/cost ratio. Good for playing recent games such as UT2k4. Can be used in most Intel P4 motherboard from past 2 years (may req BIOS update). Bug free D1 Stepping (s-Spec SL6QB).
Weakness: Slight - 512 kB cache not 1 Mb like "Extreme Edition" CPUs. No Hyperthreading.
At $162 + $8 for 3-day shipping (for retail package with heatsink and fan) this was an excellent upgrade. Top end P4s still don't provide the best performance to price ratio. Great processor for gaming enthusiasts on a budget. Always insist on latest CPU stepping (version) which currently for this processor (2.8 GHz, 533 MHz FSB) is "D1" with Intel s-Spec# SL6QB or SL6PF.
