Performance Brief
INTEL® PENTIUM® 4 PROCESSOR PRODUCT FEATURE
HIGHLIGHTS
The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture delivers a number of innovative features including Hyper
Pipelined Technology, 800 MHz, 533 MHz and 400 MHz System Bus (complemented by the
corresponding bandwidth supported by the respective chipset families), Execution Trace Cache, and
Rapid Execution Engine as well as a number of enhanced features: Advanced Transfer Cache,
Advanced Dynamic Execution, Enhanced Floating-point and Multimedia Unit, and Streaming SIMD
Extensions 2. Many of these innovations and advances were made possible with improvements in
processor technology, process technology, and circuit design that could not previously be
implemented in high-volume, manufacturable solutions. The features and resulting benefits of the
Intel NetBurst micro-architecture are defined below.
•
Hyper-Threading Technology
This ground breaking innovation changes the landscape of processor design by going
beyond GHz to improve processor performance. It allows software to “see” two logical
processors even though there is only one processor physically in place. This new
technology enables the processor to execute two series, or threads, of instructions at the
same time, thereby improving performance and system responsiveness. The Intel
Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology is specially designed to deliver immediate
increases on performance and system responsiveness with many stand-alone
applications today and with existing applications in multitasking environments (i.e.
where two or more things are running at the same time). It offers revolutionary
performance in 3D, multimedia, audio, imaging, streaming video, Internet, e-business,
collaborative productivity environments, and web services applications. Furthermore,
the Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology provides performance headroom for
the future.
•
Hyper Pipelined Technology:
The hyper-pipelined technology of the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture doubles the
pipeline depth compared to the P6 micro-architecture used on today’s Pentium III
processors. One of the key pipelines, the branch prediction / recovery pipeline, is
implemented in 20 stages in the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture, compared to 10
stages in the P6 micro-architecture. This technology significantly increases the
performance, frequency, and scalability of the processor.
•
800 MHz, 533 MHz and 400 MHz System Bus:
The Pentium 4 processor supports Intel’s highest performance desktop system bus by
delivering 6.4 GB, 4.2 GB and 3.2 GB, of data per second into and out of the processor.
This is accomplished through a physical signaling scheme of quad pumping the data
transfers over a 100-MHz clocked system bus and a buffering scheme allowing for
sustained 400-MHz data transfers. This compares to 1.06 GB/s delivered on the
Pentium III processor’s 133-MHz system bus.
•
Level 1 Execution Trace Cache:
12
Performance Brief
In addition to the 8KB data cache, the Pentium 4 processor includes an Execution Trace
Cache that stores up to 12K decoded micro-ops in the order of program execution. This
increases performance by removing the decoder from the main execution loop and
makes more efficient usage of the cache storage space since instructions that are
branched around are not stored. The result is a means to deliver a high volume of
instructions to the processor’s execution units and a reduction in the overall time
required to recover from branches that have been mis-predicted.
•
Rapid Execution Engine:
Two Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) on the Pentium 4 processor are clocked at twice
the core processor frequency. This allows basic integer instructions such as Add,
Subtract, Logical AND, Logical OR, etc. to execute in half a clock cycle. For example,
the Rapid Execution Engine on a 1.50 GHz Pentium 4 processor runs at 3 GHz.
•
256KB or 512KB, Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache:
The Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) is either 256KB or 512KB in size and
delivers a much higher data throughput channel between the Level 2 cache and the
processor core. The Advanced Transfer Cache consists of a 256-bit (32-byte) interface
that transfers data on each core clock. As a result, the Pentium 4 processor 1.50 GHz
can deliver a data transfer rate of 48 GB/s. This compares to a transfer rate of 16 GB/s
on the Pentium III processor at 1 GHz. Features of the ATC include:
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Non-Blocking, full speed, on-die Level 2 cache
8-way set associative
256-bit data bus to the level 2 cache
Data clocked into and out of the cache every clock cycle
256KB Level 2 ATC found on Pentium 4 processors at 1.30 GHz, 1.40 GHz, 1.50
GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.70 GHz, 1.80 GHz, 1.90 GHz, and 2 GHz
⇒ 512KB Level 2 ATC found on Pentium 4 processors at 1.60A GHz, 1.70A GHz,
1.80A GHz, 2A GHz, 2.20 GHz, 2.26 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.40B GHz, 2.40C GHz,
2.50 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2.60 GHz, 2.60C GHz, 2.66 GHz, 2.80 GHz, 2.80C GHz, 3
GHz. 3.06 GHz and 3.20 GHz
•
Advanced Dynamic Execution:
The Advanced Dynamic Execution engine is a very deep, out-of-order speculative
execution engine that keeps the execution units executing instructions. The Pentium 4
processor can also view 126 instructions in flight and handle up to 48 loads and 24
stores in the pipeline. It also includes an enhanced branch prediction algorithm that
has the net effect of reducing the number of branch mis-predictions by about 33% over
the P6 generation processor’s branch prediction capability.
It does this by
implementing a 4KB branch target buffer that stores more detail on the history of past
branches, as well as by implementing a more advanced branch prediction algorithm.
•
Enhanced Floating-Point and Multimedia Unit:
The Pentium 4 processor expands the floating-point registers to a full 128-bit and adds
an additional register for data movement which improves performance on both floatingpoint and multimedia applications.
•
Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2):
13
Performance Brief
The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture extended the SIMD capabilities that Intel MMX
technology and SSE technology delivered by adding 144 instructions. These
instructions include 128-bit SIMD integer arithmetic and 128-bit SIMD doubleprecision floating-point operations. These instructions reduce the overall number of
instructions required to execute a particular program task and as a result can contribute
to an overall performance increase. They accelerate a broad range of applications,
including video, speech, and image, photo processing, encryption, financial,
engineering and scientific applications.
•
Features Used for Test and Performance / Thermal Monitoring:
⇒ Built-in Self Test (BIST) provides single stuck-at fault coverage of the microcode
and large logic arrays, as well as testing of the instruction cache, data cache,
Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs), and ROMs.
⇒ IEEE 1149.1 Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan mechanism enables
testing of the Pentium 4 processor and system connections through a standard
interface.
⇒ Internal performance counters can be used for performance monitoring and event
counting.
⇒ Includes a Thermal Monitor feature that allows motherboards to be cost effectively
designed to expected application power usages rather than theoretical maximums.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
When evaluating the performance of a microprocessor or system, it is important to obtain the
complete performance picture. A processor and system should deliver high performance across the
Pillars of Performance: Industry Standard Benchmarks, Single Applications, and Business/Consumer
Multitasking.
Industry Standard Benchmarks
The performance delivered on the industry standard benchmarks represents the foundation of the
Intel Pentium 4 processor’s capability. Since no single benchmark adequately describes the
performance of your PC, a variety of performance metrics that tax the various areas of the PC should
be used. In every case, from productivity to gaming, the Intel Pentium 4 processor family delivers
great performance and value for business, consumer and performance enthusiasts.
Productivity Performance: SYSmark* 2002
Multitasking is the best word to describe how today's knowledge workers get their jobs done. But
multitasking alone does not adequately describe the entire environment. While knowledge workers
are consumed with projects and switching between applications, other computer processing is
occurring in the background. Processes such as virus scanning, encryption, compression and IT
manageability tools occur typically "invisibly" in the background while the knowledge worker is
multitasking. Hyper-Threading Technology allows the system to execute functions like virus
scanning in the background while concurrently running several applications in the foreground. So
how do you measure true productivity performance in this environment? Through the use of the
industry standard benchmark, SYSmark 2002 which replicates today's multitasking environment with
background processing. And through this benchmark, the advantages of the Intel Pentium 4
Processor with HT Technology are quite evident:

Business Multitasking
processor based PC the business user will experience great performance on background and
foreground computing activities involving data compression and virus scanning allowing business to
publish documents while protecting their computing environment.
Publish and Protect Simultaneously:
McAfee* VirusScan* 7.0 with Microsoft* Word* 2002 SP2 and Adobe* Acrobat* 5.05
In today's business environment, users are running multiple applications at once, and are often
executing multiple tasks from with in each application. On top of this, corporations have to run
information security measures to safeguard not only their computer infrastructure, but also the vast
amounts of data that they generate and store. All of these applications and security measures running
at the same time can negatively impact user productivity by making the PC less responsive to user
input. By deploying the Intel Pentium 4 Processor with HT Technology, you are better equipped to
run multiple applications such as Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat and McAfee VirusScan, thus
increasing productivity. Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables the processor to execute threads
or tasks in parallel, and can therefore offer improved performance and better responsiveness for
today's multitasking workloads and many applications.
For example, take an individual such as a Technical Specifications Writer working in press relations
who needs to send out numerous press releases, making sure the release is published and
unchangeable. To accomplish this he could create those press releases in Microsoft Word and then
use Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF document to distribute. Typically he needs to convert numerous
documents to PDF and often does several at a time. A slower PC without Hyper-Threading
Technology doesn't offer the performance he demands in this multitasking environment. Additionally
his company's IT department has set up his system to run virus scanning periodically throughout the
day. This significantly slows down the conversion of Word documents into PDF format, so he often
turns off the security feature so that he can stay productive. With a PC powered by the Intel Pentium
4 Processor with HT Technology, he could leave the virus scanning on, ensuring the security of his
organization and complete all his document conversions simultaneously.

Content Creation and Client Security:
McAfee* VirusScan* 7.0 with Adobe* Photoshop* 7.0.1
In today's business environment, productivity and security are primary concerns for every
corporation. However, finding a balance between IT's desire for a secure computing environment and
an end users need to be productive can be difficult. As information security measures increase, this
can take a toll on older machines making them often sluggish and unresponsive, thus impacting the
user's ability to work effectively. With Intel's new Hyper-Threading Technology computers can
finally strike a balance between end user needs and those of IT.
35
Performance Brief
For example, running a full system virus scan using an application like McAfee VirusScan 7.0 can
greatly impact the productivity of the end user. This is because the PC's processor now has to execute
virus scanning while at the same time run other productivity applications like Adobe Photoshop
7.0.1. The result is simple; Photoshop performance suffers and employee productivity drops. Now,
with PC's supporting Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology the processor can effectively perform both
operations at the same time. So, Photoshop performance is maintained keeping the employee
productive while information security operations like virus scanning continue to run in the
background. Finally the information security needs of IT and productivity needs of the employee can
be balanced.

security functions like virus scanning. With Intel’s new Hyper-Threading technology the PC is able
to stay more responsive so the user doesn’t have to wait as long while the computer creates the
secure document. Hyper-Threading technology allows IT to have more confidence and turn on
advanced security features with less worry that user productivity will be impacted.
