CONCLUSION
The PentiumŪ 4 processor is a new, state-of-the-art processor microarchitecture and design. It is the beginning of a new family of processors that utilize the new Intel NetBurst® microarchitecture. Its deeply pipelined design delivers world-leading frequencies and performance. It uses many novel microarchitectural ideas including a Trace Cache, double-clocked ALU, new low-latency L1 data cache algorithms, and a new high bandwidth system bus. It delivers world-class performance in the areas where added performance makes a difference including media rich environments (video, sound, and speech), 3D applications, workstation applications, and content creation.
