Intel Pentium D 805 HH80551PE0672MN User Manual

Whether performing video editing, playing graphic 

intensive games or running multiple background

tasks simultaneously, users today have high expecta-

tions for their PC performance with little tolerance for

degradation in experience. For people who run 

multiple demanding applications simultaneously, the

Intel

®

Pentium

®

D processor is Intel’s preferred desktop

processor. Because it is powered by two execution

cores in one processor it offers exceptional function-

ality and performance so consumers get the most

productivity and enjoyment from their PCs when one

or more people are running multiple applications 

at the same time. 

In today’s usage environment, processor speed alone

is not enough to ensure a great experience. Today users 

require the power of simultaneous computing found in a dual-

core processor. The Intel Pentium D processor brings this power 

to the desktop at three performance levels [3.20, 3 and 2.80 GHz]. 

An Intel dual-core processor delivers consumer value by providing additional computing 

resources that expand the PC’s capabilities and provide platform-level advancements for 

consumers in the form of higher throughput and simultaneous computing. With an 

Intel Pentium D processor users may perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering 

and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly.

The Intel dual-core processor is an evolution of HT Technology. Both HT Technology and 

a dual-core processor enable a multi-threaded experience for applications written to take 

advantage of multiple threads, but dual-core processing brings more resources and computing

throughput to the PC. Dual-core processing allows for true simultaneous computing so multiple

users can access and enjoy the same PC, even from different rooms with a home network and

networked devices (such as a stereo connected via a DMA). For more information about the 

evolution of Hyper-Threading Technology to Dual-Core please see the Dual-Core Demo posted
