800MHz system bus (all versions include Hyper Threading)
6500 to 10000 MIPS
Itanium (chronological entry)
Official designation now Xeon, i.e. not "Pentium 4 Xeon"
Xeon 1.4, 1.5, 1.7 GHz
Introduced May 21 , 2001
L2 cache was 256KB Advanced Transfer Cache (Integrated)
Processor Package Style was Organic Lan Grid Array 603 (OLGA 603)
System Bus Speed 400MHz
SSE2 SIMD Extensions
Used in high-performance and mid-range dual processor enabled workstations
Xeon 2.0 GHz
Itanium 2 (chronological entry)
Pentium 4EE
Introduced September 2003
EE = "Extreme Edition"
same as Pentium 4 Processor, but with 2MB onboard L3 Cache
Pentium 4E
Introduced February 2004
built on 0.09 μm (90 nm ) process technology "Prescott" (2.4A, 2.8, 2.8A, 3.0, 3.2, 3.4) 1MB L2 cache
533MHz system bus (2.4A and 2.8A only)
800MHz system bus (all other models)
Hyper-Threading support is only available on CPUs using the 800MHz system bus.
The processor's integer instruction pipeline has been increased from 20 stages to 32 stages, which theoretically allows for even greater clock speeds.
7500 to 11000 MIPS
Pentium 4F
Introduced Spring 2004
same core as 4E, "Prescott"
3.2–3.6 GHz
starting with the D0 stepping of this processor, EM64T 64-bit extensions has also been incorporated
Introduced Q2 2005
"Smithfield" dual-core version
2.8–3.2 GHz
1MB+1MB L2 cache (non-shared, 2MB total)
800MHz system-bus
Not hyperthreading, performance increase of 60% over similarly clocked Prescott
Cache-coherency between cores requires communication over the 800MHz FSB
The 64-bit processors: Itanium & ...
Pentium M (chronological entry)
Pentium 4EE, 4E (chronological entries)
Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology
Introduced Spring 2004 , with the Pentium 4F (D0 and later P4 steppings)
64-bit architecture extension for the x86 range; near clone of AMD64
