Pentium 4 processor-based systems are designed to meet the needs of a range of users. For consumers, the Pentium 4 processor delivers desired performance for processing digital video and audio, displaying 3-D graphics, and taking advantage of the latest Internet technologies. Users are able to connect entertainment and productivity devices with Pentium 4 processor-based systems. For business users, the Pentium 4 processor provides the performance, longevity and return on investment needed to achieve advantage.

The Intel(r) NetBurst(tm) Micro-Architecture and Intel(r) 850 Chipset The Intel NetBurst(tm) Micro-architecture enables the Pentium 4 processor to run at high speeds, which can be an advantage for users about their computer performance. The Pentium 4 processor is the first completely new desktop processor design from Intel since 1995, when the Intel(r) Pentium(r) Pro processor, with its P6 micro-architecture, was introduced.

The Pentium 4 processor platform is based on the Intel(r) 850 chipset. The Intel 850 chipset's dual RDRAM* memory banks complement the Pentium 4 processor's 400 MHz system bus, handling up to 3.2 gigabytes of data per second. Also, Intel is shipping the Intel Desktop Board D850GB, which supports the Pentium 4 processor in the ATX form factor.
