No, you wish!. No Pentium 4 processor shipped at 5ghz. I think the fastest shipped at 4ghz out of the box.
Unless it was under some sort of super cooled CPU freezing this 5ghz was running at.
I remember back in the days I had a Thinkpad T23 laptop that had a pentium 3M 1.2GHz processor. Then I 'upgraded' to a T30 which had the pentium 4M at 2GHz, and it was actually a downgrade in terms of cpu power.
ghz is not a definitive measure of performance. A P4 at 4Ghz is going to be much slower than an i7 at 5Ghz, because each clock cycle (hz), the i7 does more work than a P4. A 2Ghz snapdragon would get better benchmarks than a 4Ghz P4.
Yeah was about to say.. Coffee lake is here before the end of spring, may want to hold off
Is that an optimization or new architecture?
Optimization, Cannonlake is the architecture after
Christ Intel are slackers.
Skylake was the last new architecture, right? Or was that an optimization too? That makes 3 processors on 14nm. We don't even get a die shrink.
I have Kaby which was just a minor refresh of Skylake, and even that had to be delayed to 2017. No new processor came out in 2016.
@lostn: I got a 3770k when it came out in 2012.. 5 years later the 7700k is just ~30% faster. If you consider the fact that you need another motherboard its not even worth an upgrade :( Thrilled to have AMD back in the game - hopefully the heavy breathing behind Intels back will get them moving
Ryzen is here now and cheaper .
It's also slower. Sadly unless you are doing video conversion or 3d rendering, the other cores are idling most of the time. Games are getting better at using them, but still far from using all the potential that's there
@troyww: Gaming has gotten better with hyperthreading.
Today's games run about 50% higher in fps between a i7 7700 and i5 7600.
That didn't used to be the case, but it now is.
I want it but I cannot have eet :|
didn't pentium 4 go upto 5ghz
