Intel Pentium 4 HT 2.80

The Intel Pentium 4 HT 2.80 is a desktop processor manufactured by Intel. Its architecture is NetBurst, its codename is Northwood, and its generation is recorded as Pentium 4 HT (Northwood). The chip has 1 core and 2 threads, runs at a base clock of 2.80 GHz, and has no boost clock in the record. It is designed for Intel Socket 478 and supports DDR1 and DDR2 memory. The TDP field is 70. Intel fabricated the chip on a 130 nm process, with 55 million transistors on a 131 mm² die. The release date is 2003-05-20, and the production status is end-of-life. The record does not include a series designation, and the part number field is SL6WJSL6WTSL6Z5SL78Y.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark section of the record contains an empty benchmarks array. The average benchmark score is 0. The nearestRivals list has no entries. Because there are no rival entries, there are no deltaPct values in the record. This means no exact percentage comparison to any named competitor can be produced from the data. The only relative metric stored for this processor is percentileVsAllCpus, and it is 50. A percentile of 50 places it at the midpoint of the all-CPU distribution represented in the database. That midpoint, however, is not accompanied by any raw benchmark scores. The average benchmark score of 0 is the only numerical benchmark field, and with an empty benchmarks array it cannot be interpreted as a measured result. In short, the performance section of this record is defined by missing data rather than by scores. Any statement like “ahead of rival X by Y percent” would require a populated rival list, and that list is empty.

Power and Thermals

The TDP is 70. This is the design target for whatever cooling solution is paired with the processor. The physical context for that thermal target comes from the 130 nm process, the 55 million transistor count, and the 131 mm² die area. These are the listed physical attributes behind the thermal class; the only numeric thermal datum in the record is the TDP of 70. The processor has no boost clock, so its frequency state is fixed at 2.80 GHz rather than varying among multiple turbo frequencies. The multiplier is not unlocked, indicating that user-controlled multiplier adjustments are not supported by this part. The integrated graphics field says “On certain motherboards (Chipset feature)”, which means the processor die itself does not include a graphics engine. From a thermal standpoint, the absence of an on-die GPU means that graphics processing heat is not part of this CPU’s cooling requirement. The end-of-life production status further indicates that the cooling requirement is relevant mainly to owners of existing Intel Socket 478 systems. For those systems, a cooler capable of handling a 70 TDP class processor is the appropriate starting point.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The processor is defined by 1 physical core and 2 logical threads. This configuration means single-threaded execution has access to 1 core at a time, running at the fixed 2.80 GHz base clock. The absence of a boost clock means there is no higher frequency state to call on for short bursts. Multi-threaded workloads can use 2 threads, but those threads share the same physical core, so the execution resources are not doubled. The cache hierarchy in the record is 8 KB of L1 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache. The record also contains no L3 cache, no totalL3 field, and no vCache3d field. The memory support field is DDR1 and DDR2, with the ECC memory field set to false. No memory bus or memory bandwidth values are present, so the data transfer capacity between memory and CPU is not quantified in the record. The 2-thread behavior is therefore supported by the thread count and the HT designation in the name, but there is no benchmark score to show how the other thread affects real workloads. For a workload that is primarily single-threaded, the 2.80 GHz clock and the listed L1/L2 sizes are the relevant specification factors. For a workload that can use 2 threads, the shared-core structure is the main constraint.

Who Should Consider It

The market segment for this processor is Desktop. Its production status is end-of-life, so it is not a current production part. A user building a system from current inventory would not find a reason to select an end-of-life processor on the basis of this record. A user with an existing Intel Socket 478 motherboard and DDR1 or DDR2 memory could look at this processor as a potential CPU, because the socket and memory support match those platform elements. The lack of benchmark scores means there is no measured evidence for gaming, content creation, or office productivity recommendations. The only workload-related guidance that can be derived from the data is based on the core/thread structure: the processor supports 1 core and 2 threads. Applications that require many cores are not a match for this specification. Applications that can operate within 1 core and 2 threads are the plausible candidates. The base clock of 2.80 GHz is fixed, with no boost to provide additional headroom. ECC memory support is false, so memory configurations should not expect ECC operation. The integrated graphics field is a chipset feature on certain motherboards, so a suitable motherboard or a separate graphics solution is required for display output. The PCIe field is null, so no PCIe connectivity is specified in the record. The multiplier is not unlocked, which limits overclocking-oriented usage. The data’s profile is therefore a narrow desktop specification: single-core, 2-thread, non-ECC, no on-die graphics.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals field is empty, so there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values to cite. The comparison section of the record cannot contain per-rival paragraphs because no rivals are present. The only comparative field is percentileVsAllCpus, which is 50. This is a single positional value on a scale of all CPUs. The average benchmark score is 0, and the benchmark array is empty. Therefore, the positional value is not verified by any workload measurement. The data allows no statement about being ahead of or behind a named competitor. It also allows no percentage delta. The comparison picture is incomplete: the only coordinate places the processor at the midpoint of the stored CPU distribution, but no supporting measurements or rival relationships are recorded.

FAQ

Q: What is the base clock of the Intel Pentium 4 HT 2.80?

A: The base clock is 2.80 GHz. The record lists no boost clock.

Q: How many cores and threads are in the record?

A: The processor has 1 core and 2 threads.

Q: What is the TDP?

A: The TDP is 70.

Q: Which memory types does it support?

A: It supports DDR1 and DDR2 memory, and ECC memory is not supported.

Q: Does it have integrated graphics?

A: No. The integrated graphics field is a chipset feature on certain motherboards, not an in-processor graphics unit.

Q: Why are there no benchmark comparison percentages?

A: The benchmarks array is empty, the average benchmark score is 0, and the nearestRivals list is empty, so no deltaPct values are available.
