which is better.. pentium D or pentium 4 HT?
539144
Pentium D incorporates dual-core processing technology that is in fact an improvement to hyperthreading (HT). In this context , Pentium D is better.

Both are made by Intel - I don't personally see any real difference in performance from the type of chip (either Celeron or Pentium).\n\nWhat you really need to know is the clockspeed, not the chip name.\n\nThe PC you buy should reflect what purpose it will be used for. If it's just word documents etc, you only need an entry level PC, but for high powered graphics editing, serious gaming etc, you'll want a higher spec one.\n\nPCs on the market today are getting to the 4GHz mark (that's 4 GigaHertz) for the really high spec models.\n\nDepending on what you want to buy, you need to understand that the higher the clockspeed, the faster the PC will be.\n\nAdditionally, you should check out how much RAM it has. For docs, you can go for 128/256 MB RAM, but higher spec PCs are getting produced with upwards of 1024 MB\n\nHard disk size is merely to do with the amount of data you will store on it. Standard is 80GB last time I checked, but there are PCs out there with 250GB etc. As with the above, it's all to do with requirement and bigger is better. Remember with this though that text takes up less space than graphics.\n\nHope this helps.

Software that is written to take advantage of a dual-core processor will allow both cores to work together to complete a task. You won't get true 6 GHz performance, but it will be significantly quicker than if you were running a single core 3 GHz processor. One complaint about the Pentium D chips is the two core use the Front Side Bus to talk to each other, therefore, the processor speed is limited when the two cores are working together. I'm running a Pentium D 830, and aside for an increase in my electric bill, I'm happy with it's performance.

Pentium 4 is a much more sophisticated and modern system than a Celeron and according to your specs, which seem wrong, I would hazard a guess of 1.8Ghz though that could be because it is being overclocked from 1.5Ghz

AMD Processors and Intel Pentium 4's are two popular processors. They are different in internal structure but both function under Windows.\n\nHow are they different?\n\nAMD has shorter pipelines than Intel. In short, this gives a minimal advantage to repetitive tasks, which gives Intel chips a small advantage. But, most tasks like gaming or other processor intensive tasks are not predictive and change frequently. This gives AMD a huge advantage for gaming. Some $300 AMD's outperform $1000 Intels.\n\nAlso, AMD's are generally better bang to the buck (value), which makes them more attractive.\n\nIn short? Either will run Windows, and either processor should serve you well for internet browsing, email and word processing. But if you are a power user or a gamer, AMD is the way to go.

I would say the Pentium 3 would be better. But for games I wouldn't really try to play much at all with either of those CPU's.

no more! it was considered good before the new Core 2 Duo was released. in place of a Pentium D 930 you can get a Core 2 Duo E6300 for only a few bucks more. it will beat the D 930 even though it's slower clocked.

Listen, the best of the best, while still getting a bang for your buck is an AMD Athlon Processor. Athlons are better than Pentiums for one good reason, FSB (Front Side Bus). FSB determines how much information can be sent at one time. The bigger the FSB the more data can be transformed at one time, and vice-versa. Even though Pentuims are faster, Athlons can process more data at one time, making them best for multi-tasking. Let me help you visualize. Imagine a waterfall. The water in the river that leads to the waterfall is represented as data. Now, River A is a skinny river but its moving fast. River B is a really really wide river, so it moves slower, but dumps more water at the end of the waterfall then River A. Since River A is so skinny, it easily gets clogged up. And Since River B is so fat, it rarely gets cloged up. So, River A not only doesnt send as much data as River B, but sometimes it can get clogged up in itself. River B , on the other hand, is a little slower but dumps way more water because its so fat, and usually never clogs up. In other words, Peniums usually come with a low FSB. Thus, they can only send and process a little bit of data at a time, Thats why they have to be fast, to make up for the low data transfer. This makes Pentiums good for doing one thing at a time. Athlons, are a little bit slower, but have WAY more FSB than Pentiums (Usually 2000MHz). This makes them extremely good at tackling many processes at once. Not only that, but they are usually cheaper. Just let me give you a little guide to buying a PC. \n\nThe 4 most important things to look at when buying a PC or labtop are:\n1) Processor speed\n2) FSB \n3) RAM\n4) Memory\n\nThe Processor Speed and the FSB must have a balance. If you get a slow Processor, than you need a lot of FSB. If you get a fast Processor, than you dont need that much FSB. (A fast processor runs over 3GHz. A slow one runs under 2GHz. A lot of FSB is around 2000MHz. A little FSB is under 1000MHz.)\n\nThe RAM is very important as it also increases your computers ability to compute and store many things whenever it needs it. Thats why its called Random Acess Memory. (A lot of RAM is over 512MB. A little RAM is under 512MB.)\n\nThe regular Memory (Hardrive) is sometimes used as RAM. This is called Virtual Memory. Which is why its also very important because it helps out the RAM. (A lot of Hardrive memory for a Laptop is over 80GB. A little Hardrive memory for a Laptop is under 60GB.)\n\nSo, really, there are 3 important factors. Processor speed, FSB, and RAM. But since the Hardrive is used to help RAM, its important to get a lot of it. (they are cheap anyways, you can get them about .25 cents a GB) \n\nI Hope this helps you pick out a good labtop.

I would certainly not go with a Pentium 4.  The best one out right now is the Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo is the laptop version).  This along with 1-2 gigs of ram and 80+ gigs of hard drive space, and a video card 64megs of video ram should be good for the next few yeras.  If you wnat to save money, you can get about the same thing with a Pentium M processor, but I would certainly not use a pentium 4, he/she will get no battery life out of it.  they also are very hot, and aren't very fast at all.  the Pentium M and Duo even tho it has a lower clock rate (the gigahertz) they are much more efficient per clock cycle (they do more each time, rather then simply doing a little very fast).

I prefer my Pentium 4. It has-\n\n3.00 GHz (Reports of up to 4.00 GHz succesful overclocking!)\n800 MHz FSB\n1 MB L2 Cache (I'd have prefered two, but whatever)\n478-Pin (I think...)\nHyper-Threading (Doesn't work well with windowed 3D stuff though)

well that is a nice question but the main difference is that with the dual processor, it enables your PC to respond faster to multitask and it does so a speed of as fast as you can multi task the computer. As fast it you can be multitasking the PC, so fast will it to respond to all the tasks at a glance. and that is the difference between the dual and that of the P4.\nMoreover these are the features of D processor\n1.Revved up multitasking\n2.Built for advanced applications\n3.Multiply your multimedia experience\n\nPentium D processor-based PC allows two people to share the content from one PC - in the same room, or even from different places in the house. For example, one person can be checking email while the other uses a remote control to access digital photos stored on the same PC and view them on the TV from the comfort of their living room. \n\nHope you are ok with this. We will talk more later

athlon 64 is a 64-bit processor with only one core and pentium d is also an 64-bit processor but with two cores on one die. Simple enough...

There's no such thing as a Pentium 4 M! There's a Pentium 4 and there are Pentium M and Celeron M Processors. There is also a Pentium D and celeron D. If you want to know more about Intel processors go to the link below.\n\nEach chip has been designed to capture different parts of the market. The Pentium M is for laptops and primarily is designed to run a lot cooler because of confined spaces and to extend the life of the battery. This is the better CPU for a laptop. You can get the P4 in laptops but they weigh more and the battery rarely lasts more than an hour before you need to charge it up again.\n\nCeleron chips are cheaper but there's a reason for that :-)

The fastest pentium IV is actually 3.8 ghz.  They passed 2.0 ghz a long time ago.  Now they have dual core proccessors from Intel and AMD.  The one from intel is called pentium D.

D = Dual Core. Two cores are better than one and the price is right. It's like having two CPU's instead of one to a degree, it's not totally the same as there is the I/O bottleneck.

both are proccesor one for laptop and other for pc.INTEL PENTIUM is more reliable.problem with AMD is heating and intel support grater graphics properties but sound support for AMD is grater.

I wouldn't recommand dual core, but other then that Pentium is a revolution in x86 based computer processing system. Pentium is a 32-bit processor design based on x86 model. There are number of processor types like x86, powerpc, amd64, powerpcg5 etc. Among them amd64 and powerpcg5 are the complete 64-bit processing technology, which has been implemented in the processors like amd opteron or apples G5 etc. Hyper Threading or HT means you'll have two processors in one processor area, and if you can devide your job of processing into two threads then it will be processed simultancely so it would be a lot faster, it really can make a very good performance.\n\nIf you are a professional computer user, and want to use processors for servers or high end workstation then you can try using Amd Opteron or Sun servers. But if you are a home user and you need a powerful machine for gaming then I'd say you can buy Pentium 4 with HT and as much as clock possible. Dual core's performance wouldn't be satisfactory comparing to the price of the of the processor. Use Intel manufactured mother board and a good video card like geforce 6800 or geforce 7 series in your pci express x16 slot, you should be able to run and play any game in current market or upcoming games in many days. But Pentium 4 is a 32-bit processor. If you don't have gaming in mind then you can try using the machines from Apple, you'll have a lot better performance and much reasonable price, and in this way you can have the power of 64 bit and it is a RISC processor so you'll have to use it feel the performance boost.
