Figures

Intel Pentium 4: recorded figures

provisional A figure marked provisional is recorded but not accepted: its evidence is unsettled. It may rely on one source, an unconfirmed announcement, or a digit read from a damaged scan. The reason appears under the figure. The catalog shows the figure but never uses it in a multiplier. How records are judged.

Metric Value Evidence Basis Method Source
Clock frequency cpu provisional 3.0 GHz Confirmed Vendor-rated Nominal clock Stated by the vendor This figure remains provisional until the cited source is corroborated for the exact configuration.
Dhrystone MIPS per MHz cpu provisional 2.5 DMIPS/MHz Reported Measured Benchmark run Published independently dhrystone 2.1 A named historic Dhrystone 2.1 result, normalized by the run clock; the one-source result remains provisional.
Thermal design power cpu 81.9 W Confirmed Vendor-rated Rated power Stated by the vendor 3.0 GHz with an 800 MHz front side bus and 512 kB of L2 cache on the 0.13 micron process, in the multiple-VID group. The first x86 part in this catalog whose datasheet prints a column headed Thermal Design Power, and the table is organized by bus rather than by clock: a 3.0 GHz row exists only under the 800 MHz front side bus, which places this processor later than the 2002 the surrounding representative configuration is dated to. The 2002 flagship was 3.06 GHz on the 533 MHz bus, rated 81.8 W in the same table. That is near enough to 81.9 to be mistaken for corroboration, and it is a different processor. The catalog's representative year is unresolved against Intel's product chronology and needs its own document.

Clock frequency cpu provisional not applicable The selected Pentium 4 configuration predates Turbo Boost. Not stated Vendor-rated Peak clock Stated by the vendor This figure remains provisional until the cited source is corroborated for the exact configuration.
Peak FP32 rate cpu provisional unknown The processor has floating-point hardware, but the cited specification does not publish an FP32 peak in FLOP/s.
