Intel · Pentium 4 · 2002 · 478
The Intel Pentium 4 2.4 is a desktop processor with 1 core, released in 2002 at an MSRP of $562. It is part of the Pentium 4 lineup, using the Pentium 4 platform, and fits the 478 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Northwood" architecture. It operates at a fixed 2.4 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Northwood" silicon on a 130nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports DDR memory. With a TDP of 92W, the Pentium 4 2.4 sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 16KB of L1 and 512KB of L2 cache. There is no L3 cache on this processor.
Northwood — major improvement over Willamette. 130nm process, 512KB L2 (doubled), and a die shrink that allowed much higher clock speeds.
