Pentium 4 - the CPU Intel got SO wrong Huge clock speeds, hot temperatures, and disappointing performance. We look at the catastrophically misjudged Intel NetBurst architecture.

Intel may have a Halloween treat for tech trick-or-treaters -- the launch of the Pentium 4 processor for desktop PCs. The chip maker will launch the next-generation processor for desktops in the ...

Intel will launch its Pentium 4 chip on Monday, with an eye on the mass market.

Today marks the debut of an entire new lineup of processors from Intel with the company's 6XX Sequence Pentium 4, as well as a new addition to the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition family.

Conclusion The Pentium 4 is therefore not only the fastest CPU that Intel have produced (currently running at speeds of 1.4GHz), it is also the most advanced in terms of the potential that it holds.

Intel has "seen some anomalies, and we're going to put (the 3GHz Pentium 4) on ship hold, temporarily," said George Alfs, a company spokesman.

Rather predictably, the incumbent 3.0GHz Pentium 4 'C' will make way for the 3.2GHz CPU. Sporting all the efficiency of the 200FSB 'C' series, it will undoubtedly be the fastest Pentium 4 to date.

A lawsuit alleges that Hewlett-Packard and Intel manipulated Pentium 4 benchmarks 14 years ago. But if you bought a PC then, good news! It's lunch on Intel.

Intel, on the other hand, currently face no real headroom dilemma with their Northwood processor. Things have been going so well on the P4 front that clock speeds have been increased rather too ...
