When and what was the first model of the Pentium 4 processor released by Intel?

Pretty sure it was the end of 2000 or the very first of 2001. Think the first ones were like 1.3 or 1.4ghz. Just a guess from memory so dont quote me on that.

^ Sounds about right. I remember getting a P4 @ 2.4 late 2002 and thinking 'sweet!'. With the advancement being what it is/was, that time frame is accurate.

...released in Nov 2000, according to wikipedia.

And then I got one that (seems to have a dual-core because it shows up twice in the device manager) ran at about 3.6 Ghz. Boy it's nice and fast! Git it in about 1003 or 2004 I believe.

My wife needed a new CPU and Newegg was having a sale on E4500's at the time. She wouldn't have had any need whatsoever for it, so getting it for myself and giving her Big D was in order. Still overkill for what she uses her desktop for, but she likes it.

For the life of me, I can't recall, but did CPUs with HT show up twice?

Yes they did show up twice if they were HT.

StrangleHold · 05-04-2008, 02:49 PM

Yea if it had HT it would show up as 2 devices in device manager.
