Early review of Pentium 4 630
Uncategorized —
Feb 2, 2005 4:12 pm UTC
French hardware site X86-Secret has reviewed what looks to be Intel’s upcoming Pentium 630, as well that the Pentium 4 EE 3.73 GHz. The tweaked Pentium 4 600 series is not scheduled to be introduced to market for another few weeks, but the details of the architecture are largely known. The 600 series doubles the Pentium 4’s L2 cache size to 2MB, officially supports x86 64-bit extensions, and features the NX (no execute) bit. A newer version of SpeedStep is also expected, but the frontside bus will remain at 800MHz. The Pentium 4 EE 3.73 is also close to release.
The review, in French and curiously early, seems to confirm what I expected: tweaks such as those behind the 600 series wring a little more, but not much more performance out of an otherwise dying architecture. Of course, without a barrage of reviews to check against, we have to view these results with a bit of caution, but for the most part they don’t seem too surprising.
PC Mark 2004 scores show the 3.0 GHz 630 merely two percentage points faster than the 3.0GHz 530 model, and for the most part, this is where things stay in the 32-bit realm within the Intel family. But hey, 630 must be better than 530, right? Well, you do get 64-bit support and the NX bit, the former of which will come in handy later this year when Windows XP 64-bit is finally released.
Battling against a pair of Athlon 64s rated at 3200+ and 3800+, the story doesn’t change much from what we’ve already seen from the 530. The Pentium 630’s slight edge over the 530 means that it performs better against the Athlon 64s, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. Thumb through for the 32-bit blow-by-blow, if you want to.

Now, you obviously can’t test the Pentium 4 630’s 64-bit performance against the Pentium 4 530, but you can put it up against the Athlon 64. Here, too, there’s not much to get excited about. In five of seven tests run, the Athlon 64 3200+ beat the Pentium 4 630, oftentimes by a healthy margin.
In the Blobby Dancer and POVRay Landscape tests, the 630 came through with some very strong wins, topping even the Athlon 64 3800+, in one case leading the reviewing to suspect a flaw in the benchmark. Glimmer of hope? We’ll have to wait and see. Gaming wise, the 630 was trounced by the Athlon 64s, as we’ve come to expect as of late.
As I mentioned earlier, the reviewers chained to NDAs will someday publish their reviews, too, and we can corroborate this early report. For the most part, though, the numbers look right, the shots look right, and there’s nothing particularly surprising here. While X86-Secret calls the Pentium 630 an «?norme d?ception» (an enormous disappointment), I tend to think it’s what it is: a stop-gap measure to keep the line alive while we wait for the new dual core 800 series to debut, or perhaps another die-shrink for Prescott.
As a means of closing, I’ll note that the Pentium 4 3.73GHz EE should be used as a litmus test for sanity. Buy it for home use, and they should put you away (if only because the 3.
46GHz mostly outperforms it). The review speculates that Intel has moved to a Prescott core for the EE, and that has slowed it tremendously. If true, this makes the part quite a snore. Still, it may be a good buy for those wanting a Xeon Lite for special purposes.
