Features and Benefits of the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 600 Sequence
Features
Benefits
Hyper-Threading (HT)
HT Technology takes advantage of threaded applications by allowing the processor core to function as
Technology
1
two logical processors. This provides increased system responsiveness in multi-tasking environments by
dividing workloads into processes and software threads that can be independently scheduled and dispatched.
2MB Level 2 Cache
The processor core is equipped with its own 2MB L2 cache that gives the core fast access to the data
used most often.
800 MHz Front Side Bus
Delivers excellent system bandwidth for efficient and improved system performance.
Execute Disable Bit
2
When enabled with a supported operating system, the Execute Disable Bit allows memory to be marked
as executable or non-executable. If code attempts to run in non-executable memory, such as when
malware exploits buffer overrun vulnerabilities, the processor raises an error to the operating system.
Intel® Extended Memory 64
Intel EM64T enhances Intel 32-bit architecture, giving the desktop processor platform access to larger
Technology (Intel® EM64T)
1
amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on
an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable use of extended virtual and physical memory.
Streaming SIMD Extensions
Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) technology accelerates performance on a wide variety of applications
including multimedia, video and audio encoding/decoding, 3-D graphics and image processing.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep®
EIST allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which can decrease

average power consumption and average heat production. Combined with existing power saving features,
EIST provides an excellent balance between providing power when you need it and conserving it when
you don’t.
Enhanced Halt State
3
Enhanced Halt State is activated when the Halt instruction is executed by the processor. The operating
system goes into idle mode which lowers frequency and voltage (Dynamic Voltage Identification, or
Dynamic VID) to help reduce power consumption.
Intel® Thermal Monitor 2
3
This enhanced version of Intel Thermal Monitor lowers frequency and voltage (Dynamic VID) to help
reduce power consumption.
Intel Designed Thermal
Includes a 4-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from
Solution for Boxed
running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance. The fan speed control technology is based on

Intel processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor
numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across
different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and Intel® Extended Memory 64
Technology (Intel® EM64T) require a computer system with a processor,
chipset, BIOS, enabling software and/or operating system, device
drivers and applications designed for these features. Performance will
vary depending on your configuration. Contact your vendor for more
information. See www.intel.com/products/ht/hyperthreading_more.htm/
and www.intel.com/technology/64bitextensions/ for more information.

Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor
with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system.
Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers
Execute Disable Bit functionality.

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST), Enhanced Halt State and
Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 for specified units of this processor available
Q2/06. See the Processor Spec Finder at processorfinder.intel.com or
contact your Intel representative for more information.

The acoustic benefits of the 4-pin header are reliant on a properly de-
signed motherboard. Consult your board manufacturer for compatibility.
