Intel 4 Extreme Edition 3.46 GHz BX80532PH3460FS Leaflet

FSB transfer rates that help speed the transfer of information from the processor to the rest of the system, 
enabling improved throughput and performance. Also provides the user with the flexibility to take advantage 
of high system memory bandwidth.

Larger data and code memory for fast application response.

Floating-point performance boost provides enhanced 3D visualization and scientific calculation.

Accelerates video, speech, encryption, and imaging/photo processing.

A 128-bit floating-point port and a second port for data movement enable smooth, lifelike 3D and graphics.

Arithmetic logic units run at twice the core frequency, provide four ALUs of computing bandwidth, and allow 
lower latency execution, increasing performance for specific integer operations.

Advanced L1 instruction cache reduces decoder pipeline latency and caches “decoded” instructions, 
improving efficiency and hit rate to cached instructions. Greatly improves instruction cache efficiency and 
helps maximize performance on frequently used sections of software code.

Improved branch prediction can enhance performance for all 32-bit applications by optimizing instruction 
sequences.

Can prevent certain types of viruses or worms that exploit “buffer overflow” vulnerabilities.

Flexibility for operating systems and future software that support 64-bit computing.

Designed to match the processor. New fan speed control technology based on actual CPU temperature 
and power usage to help minimize acoustic noise.

Hyper-Threading Technology

helps increase processor efficiency

by executing more than one instruction thread at a time, which

takes full advantage of multitasking environments and multi-

threaded applications.

Hyper-Pipelined Technology. A deeper pipeline allows 

instructions inside the processor to be queued and executed 

at the fastest possible rate. Eleven pipeline states have been

added to accommodate the bigger L1 and L2 cache sizes. 

The deep pipelines will provide headroom for additional 

frequency and performance scaling improvements.

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3). Thirteen additional 

instructions have been added to the existing 144 instructions, 

including SIMD double precision floating-point, SIMD 128-bit 

integer, and cache and memory management instructions. SSE3

enhances performance to help accelerate the most demanding

aspects of Internet computing, as well as video, speech, encryption,

imaging, and non-threaded workstation applications. 

This characteristic extends the dynamic execution features found 

in previous-generation P6 microarchitecture. Improved branch 

prediction accelerates the flow of work to the processor and helps

overcome the deeper pipeline. Very deep, out-of-order speculative

execution carries out over 100 instructions speculatively, ensuring

that the processor’s superscalar execution units remain busy and

deliver better performance overall.
