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.
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.

I don't overclock cpu's or mess with the system bios, so I would'nt know what to look for in the complex features like ''speedstep'' or ''hyperthreading technology''. But, I do know that this CPU is icredibly fast. I put together this CPU with 2GB of DDR2 RAM and an XFX MG-63MI-7109 Motherboard; and now, I can run as many graphics-demanding, memory-consuming applications as I want to in multiple monitors without the slightest lag. This CPU can process graphical circles around my old P4 CPU. This CPU runs a little hot though. It should have included a better CPU fan. I might buy one soon. Even so, it still gets 5 stars. So if you're looking for a fast CPU at an affordable price, buy this one. You'll be glad you did.

Great CPU! This CPU out performances ANY of the Pentium 4's. Although I reccomend using a 64 Bit Operating system for optimal performance.

Stock heatsink and fan do not cool this chip well. Its fast, does the job...just a little annoyed Intel didnt do a better job with the retail fan setup on this one.

Amazing proccesor runs very fast and love the duel core. The cpu runs very hot though. with the stock fan it ran at 120f i put a aerocool fan that costs 30$ and it lowered it down to 92f!
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
