MOSCOW FIRST SAW PENTIUM 4 3.06 GHz
As promised earlier this week, all over the world will be a presentation of the new Pentium 4 processor with a clock speed of 3.06 GHz. Moscow premiere of the new chip c participation Douglas Bush, vice president and CIO Intel, took place even before the U.S. - because of the time difference. As previously reported, the new model of the Pentium 4, made on 0.13-micron technology, for the first time allows the use of Hyper-Threading technology in desktop computers.
PCs based on the Intel Pentium 4 processor with HT Technology and a clock speed of 3.06 GHz is available today from leading computer manufacturers around the world, including the major cities of Russia and Ukraine. Distinguish these PCs can be on the logo of Intel Pentium 4 processor with HT. Intel also began shipping Intel Pentium 4 processors with clock speeds up to 3.06 GHz Boxed their authorized distributors for system integrators worldwide.
In batches of 1 million pieces price Intel Pentium 4 processor with a clock speed of 3.06 GHz is $ 637.
Recall that HT Technology allows users to improve PC performance in two cases: when working with software that uses multi-threaded processing, and for use in multi-tasking. A recent commissioned by Intel Corporation poll showed that more than 75% of users at least occasionally perform on their PCs several tasks simultaneously. According to the same survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, the most popular combination running on the PC at the same time tasks are computer games while recording a CD.
Almost 50% of PC owners surveyed said that their old computers, they would not have entrusted the implementation of more than one resource-intensive tasks simultaneously.
Applications written to simultaneously work with multiple fragments of code (the so-called flow - thread), will see a single physical processor Intel Pentium 4 processor at 3.06 GHz with HT as two logical processors. HT technology allows the processor to handle two independent data flow in turn and in the same time. Furthermore, when using the technology HT increases productivity applications in a multitasking environment, i.e. at a time when several programs are executed simultaneously, and PCs running operating systems such as Windows XP or Linux.
And in fact, and in another case, the result for the end user will increase productivity and reduce the waiting time, say experts.
The following diagram demonstrated the CPUs Intel Pentium 4 based on the results of tests SPEC.
At today#39;s press conference in Moscow, journalists were shown the benefits of using HT technology at work in multi-tasking environments, as well as in the processing of computer graphics, audio materials, and working with Office applications (Outlook Express, Power Point, Excel) and interactive games, even while performance-intensive tasks in the background.
Anti-virus scanning, encryption, compression, and other background applications can be run simultaneously without reducing the availability of systems and their effectiveness. Thus, when the compression folder in Outlook while the program WinZip HT Technology provides a performance boost of 35%. Adobe Photoshop while searching MacAfee virus program runs 21% faster.
Simultaneous processing and editing music videos from a PC with a processor Intel Pentium 4 processor at 3.06 GHz with HT is 21% faster than on the same PC without technology HT, demonstrated by representatives of Intel.
