ok whats the difference between Intel Pentium EE/Pentium D/Pentium 4 HT?
my motherboard supports all of them but i was wondering about all of the advantages and disadvantages of them.
thanks
 
EE- costs a TON but best intel at the moment(some of them dual, some dual w/ht)
p d- dual core
p4 ht-processor ACTS like it is dual core, not as good as real
p4- standard single core

keep in mind this is only intel's current line of processors, conroe is coming out soon(amd also makes VERY good processors)

i suggest you read cpu 101
 
they perform differently at different operations. for instance a P4 at 3.6ghz with HT would probably be better than a pentium d at 3ghz at gaming... but the pentium d might be better at multithreading just because two cores are better than one core with hyperthreading.

but, lets say you have all 4 types at 2.6ghz (hypothetically) and they were priced the same. they would all perform the same in a single threaded application, and in multithreaded apps then the pentium 4 (no HT) would be worst, then the P4 with HT is slightly better, then the Pentium D, then the Pentium EE (assuming it has dual core and hyperthreading technology).
 
Pentium HT is base model with any where from 1 to 2MB L2 Cache
Pentium D = Dual Core the 800 series has 2MB cache 900 series has 4MB cache and dual core is just basically two virtual processors in one to proform more efficiently and to be able to execute more things at once
Pentium Extreme Edition is just a powerhouse very exspensive there mainly built for gaming and things that require a high demand program wise 4MB cache but have a 1066 Front side bus as aposed to the 800mhz FSB that the HT and The regular D's have

the main difference isn't in FSB or cache size (though they do play a part), its in how fast each one is per thread.

how many cores + whether it supports hyperthreading are two things that distinguish them from each other though.
dual core is like doubling performance for multithreaded apps...
and hyperthreading works the same way, only the effect is less than double.

in my opinion pentium d is the best for the money though.

The Pentium 4 C (Northwood) had 512KB of L2 cache, and they supported hyperthreading.

Two virtual processors? Dual cores are physical, not virtual.

The Pentium EE 840 has an 800MHz bus, not a 1066MHz bus like you say all EE's have.

Pentium 4 HT 775 dont have anyless then 1M L2 cache

look up the definition of virtual and then get back o me

Open your eyes a little bit and you will see that I said that that EE's have a 1066mhz bus but no were in that sentence does it say "all" try and read before you correct people

That's correct, but in your previous post you did not state whether you were talking about LGA775, S478 or both, so I took the inference that you were talking about all Pentium 4's which use HT.

I looked up virtual, and here is the following definitions:
Definition of "Virtual" said:
1.)Existing or resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or name
2.)Existing in the mind, especially as a product of the imagination.

So, can you tell me how dual core processors are virtual entites (not existing in physical form, but as a concept/idea), when you can open up a dual core processor and see the two cores, up close and personal?

If you would open your eyes a little, you would see that I posted a link to a Pentium EE 840 with an 800MHz bus. Nowhere did I say that all Pentium EE's had an 800MHz bus, I was just giving an example of an EE which didn't have a 1066MHz bus, which again was contradictory to your statement which you had again seemed to have stated that every Pentium EE has a 1066MHz bus, due to the omission of mentioning that some EE's have an 800MHz bus.

Oh, and my eyes are open. Wide open.

Instead of criticizing me of my age, how about you bring factual information to the table in an attempt to reinforce your statements and arguements... pfft, not like they've already crumbled.

I brought factual information to the table but because your young and you feel the need to come on this forum and get attention probably due to the fact that no one gives you any attention in real life because your in a constant battle to prove how smart you are with every one which only ends in making people not only dislike you more you look pathetic in the process which has happened in this thread the only thing that is worse about this is that I've entertained your loneliness

Oh, wow. Now we are resorting to personal attacks on my life? Why must you sink to such a low to go and attack me on my personal life (by the way, all those things you said were false).

I get plenty of attention in my life, not only from my family, but also from my friends and peers. Contrary to what you think and say, I most definately do have a social life.

So how about you stop making yourself feel better for being wrong by using personal attacks on the person whom corrected you? Thanks a bunch, SeanC83.

im not sure wut grounds for expulsion are in this forum, if theyre written in stone or what, but if i were running the cf a personal attack would definitely qualify. not to mention, this isn't even your thread.
im not quite sure if you were trying to answer his question, but most of what you said was not only false, but had to do with miniscule properties that matter little when comparing those processors.

I'm sorry SeanC83, but I'm not taking anything of what you say, or what anybody else says on this forum personally. Try harder next time.
