Pentium 5

A non-existant line of Intel's microprocessors intended to succeed the Pentium 4 line of microprocessors.

Pentium 4 processors codenamed Prescott (the first 1MB L2 cache ones) were supposed to be named Pentium 5, but they kept using the Pentium 4 name instead.

pentium 4

God's gift to the world of the pc. A processor with a fast system bus, advanced multitasking abilities, and an incredibly high clock speed.

Pentium 4

Another one of Intel's attempt at outdoing AMD. Although the advance hyper threading and large pipeline aloud for high clock speeds, Intel was, once again, superseded by AMD. The Pentium 4 provides a good example of the "megahertz myth". AMD's athlon and Motorola's powerPC's simpler design ultimately allowed for higher performance with a lower price and a reduction in heat creation. As a computer specialist I must say that P4's in general perform the same way. They perform single task quickly, but they loose their gusto once you try running more than 1 thing at a time. If you're looking for something speedy, look for a RISC based processor like the powerPC, next in line is AMD. But stay away from Intel, especially Netburst based processors.
Joe: Hey i just got a new Pentium 4 computer!

Me: Dude, you'll regret it.

Joe: FUCK YOU!

*the next day*

Me: TOADASO! I FUCKIN' TOADASO!

pentium 4

Quite possibly the world's fastest and most well designed desktop processor. A chip specifically designed for the desktop and not a repackaged server processor. Features advanced multitasking capabilities and a 64 bit system bus.
I have a pentium 4 in my computer that will make your amd cry.
