Intel · Pentium 4 · 2004 · 478
The Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.6E is a desktop processor with 1 core, released in 2004 at an MSRP of $637. It is part of the Pentium 4 lineup, using the Pentium 4 platform, and fits the 478 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Prescott" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 2 threads for improved parallelism. It operates at a fixed 3.6 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Prescott" silicon on a 90nm 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 115W, the Pentium 4 HT 3.6E 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 1MB of L2 cache. There is no L3 cache on this processor.
Top Prescott on Socket 478. 3.6 GHz at 115W — the thermal wall the 90nm Prescott repeatedly hit. Intel's 4 GHz ambitions were abandoned largely because of this architecture's heat output.
