What is Pentium 4?
'''Pentium 4''' is a seventh generation single core [[Microprocessor]] of [[x86|x86 architecture]] (32-bit), manufactured by [[Intel]]. Its first complete redesign CPU (called [[NetBurst]]) since the processor [[Pentium Pro]], released in 1995. Compared to the [[Pentium II]], [[Pentium III]] and [[Celeron]] processors, its architecture is little similar to the Pentium Pro/P6 processor design. The NetBurst [[microarchitecture]] contains a very deep instruction [[pipeline]] to be able to achieve very high frequencies. The Pentium 4 was known for being inefficient and producing a large amount of heat. Because of this, Intel introduced the [[Intel Core 2|Core 2]] in 2006. Intel stopped making the Pentium 4 in 2008. {{Tech-stub}} [[Category:Intel processors]] [[Category:Processors released in the 21st century]]
