Delivering Power
And Performance for Advanced Users
Whether performing video editing, playing graphic intensive games or running
multiple background tasks simultaneously, users today have high expectations
for their PC performance with little tolerance for degradation in experience.
For people who run multiple demanding applications simultaneously, the Intel®
Pentium® D processor is Intel’s preferred desktop processor. Because it is powered
by two execution cores in one processor it offers exceptional functionality
and performance so consumers get the most productivity and enjoyment from their
PCs when one or more people are running multiple applications at the same time.
Note: A CPU cooling fan is not included with OEM CPUs,
but may be added separately.
In today’s usage environment, processor speed alone is not enough to ensure
a great experience. Today users require the power of simultaneous computing
found in a dualcore processor. The Intel Pentium D processor brings this power
to the desktop at three performance levels [3.20, 3 and 2.80 GHz]. An Intel
dual-core processor delivers consumer value by providing additional computing
resources that expand the PC’s capabilities and provide platform-level
advancements for consumers in the form of higher throughput and simultaneous
computing. With an Intel Pentium D processor users may perform multiple tasks
such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background
tasks seamlessly.

This cpu is very fast. It runs a little hot but I found that a heatsink with 3 or more heatpipes keeps it in the low 30's idle, and mine doesn't go over 48c at load. My heatsink is a silent whisper and it only cost $25 delivered. I don't understand why people have problems keeping this cpu cool unless they're using a cheap heatsink or no thermal grease or both.

Intel didn't think this one out enough. They should be pulling this one off the shelves. It runs way to HOT forcing your mobo sensor to shutdown your system. And this is only at 50% usage.
