About Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.4E
The Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.4E is a desktop processor from Intel, manufactured on a 90 nm process at Intel’s own foundry. It belongs to the NetBurst architecture and the Prescott codename; the generation is recorded as “Pentium 4 HT (Prescott)”. It is built for Intel Socket 478, with 1 core, 2 threads, and a 3.40 GHz base clock. The TDP is 115 W. No boost clock is listed, no series designation is recorded, and no part number is provided. The fact pack also contains an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of 0, a percentileVsAllCpus value of 50, and an empty nearestRivals array.
Benchmark Performance
Benchmark records for this CPU are not available in the fact pack. The benchmark array is empty, and the average benchmark score is listed as 0. The percentileVsAllCpus field places the part at the 50th percentile, indicating a median position in the database’s CPU distribution, but no individual scored rows accompany that percentile. The nearestRivals array is empty, so the dataset supplies no exact percentage deltas, no rival scores, and no named competitor to compare against.
The only performance indicators available are architectural. With 1 core and 2 threads, this is a single-core CPU with two logical threads; the “HT” in the product name is the branding associated with that thread configuration. The base clock is 3.40 GHz, and no boost clock is listed, so frequency information is limited to that single figure. The cache hierarchy is 16 KB L1 and 1 MB L2, with no L3 cache recorded. The NetBurst architecture and Prescott codename define the microarchitecture, while the 90 nm process, 125 million transistors, and 109 mm² die size define the physical implementation. Memory support is DDR1 and DDR2, but the memoryBus and memoryBandwidth fields are null, so memory throughput cannot be quantified from the data.
The average benchmark score of 0 should not be read as a measured performance result; it is consistent with the empty benchmark array. Without benchmark entries or nearest-rival data, there is no score-based evidence for positioning this processor ahead of or behind any specific competitor. The 50th percentile is the only aggregate placement, but it is not substantiated by individual comparison scores in the fact pack.
Platform and Compatibility
The processor is an Intel Socket 478 part. The architecture is NetBurst, the codename is Prescott, and the generation is recorded as “Pentium 4 HT (Prescott)”. Intel is listed as both manufacturer and foundry. Construction data includes a 90 nm process node, 125 million transistors, and a 109 mm² die. No series is recorded, and no part number is listed.
Memory support covers DDR1 and DDR2. ECC memory is not supported, so the platform does not carry an ECC memory capability in the dataset. The memoryBus and memoryBandwidth fields are null, meaning no memory bus width or bandwidth figures are provided. PCIe support is also not listed; the pcie field is null, so expansion interface details are unspecified.
Integrated graphics are not described as part of the processor itself. The fact pack states that integrated graphics are “On certain motherboards (Chipset feature)”, meaning display output depends on the motherboard chipset rather than on the CPU. The multiplier is locked, the market segment is Desktop, and the production status is end-of-life. The release date is 2004-03-31.
For compatibility planning, the relevant constraints are Intel Socket 478, DDR1/DDR2 memory support, and the motherboard/chipset feature set. Any compatible processor or platform change would need to fit those same socket and memory parameters. The locked multiplier further limits frequency adjustment options at the processor level.
Power and Thermals
The TDP is 115 W. That figure defines the thermal envelope for cooler selection; a cooling solution must be capable of handling that thermal load. The fact pack does not identify a specific cooler type, but the 115 W TDP establishes the cooling tier.
Thermal behavior is tied to the construction details listed in the fact pack: the 90 nm process node, 125 million transistors, and 109 mm² die size. These are the physical parameters available for understanding heat generation. The only frequency listed is 3.40 GHz, because no boost clock is present, so frequency-related thermal scaling is anchored to that one number. The multiplier is locked, which means the processor does not have an unlocked ratio for easy frequency adjustment. The 115 W TDP remains the primary thermal specification for this part.

How It Compares
The nearestRivals array in the fact pack is empty. As a result, the database contains no rival names, no rival scores, and no exact percentage deltas for this processor. The only quantitative placement is the percentileVsAllCpus field at 50. Because the benchmark array is empty and the average benchmark score is 0, that 50th percentile is not tied to measured comparison scores. Without nearest-rival entries, the dataset does not support a positional claim relative to any named competitor.
