Intel Pentium 4 Processor Features
Features 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® EM64Tø Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (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.

† Look for systems with the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology logo which your system vendor has verified utilize Hyper-Threading Technology. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm for information.

‡ Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology for specified units of this processor will be available in the 2nd quarter of 2006. See the Processor Spec Finder at http://processorfinder.intel.com or contact your Intel representative for more information.

ø Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel EM64T-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/ for more information including details on which processors support Intel EM64T or consult with your system vendor for more information.

° Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
