We’ve mentioned before that Intel has no intentions of significantly ramping
up the clock speed of their Pentium 4 processor until the second half of this
year when they introduce the first 90nm Prescott core. The move to 90nm will
provide for smaller, faster and cooler running transistors that will enable
clock speeds of greater than 3.2GHz with relative ease (compared to on the current
130nm core), but until that time comes Intel is relying on improvements on the
platform side of things to keep performance competitive.
Today we’ve
seen the launch of Intel’s brand new flagship chipset — the 875P (previously
known as Canterwood); alongside the 875P, Intel is introducing their newest
flagship desktop processor — the Pentium 4 C. The C designates 800MHz FSB support,
much like the B designated 533MHz FSB support in the early days of the first
533MHz FSB Pentium 4 processors.
Eventually the C designation will fade away, but we’re stuck with it initially
in order to remove any confusion when customers see two identically clocked
processors with different FSB frequencies. You actually won’t have to deal with
that confusion for another several weeks, as the first and only 800MHz FSB Pentium
4 processor being released at this time doesn’t overlap in clock speed with
any other Pentium 4.
The first 800MHz FSB CPU from Intel is the Pentium 4 3.0C which, as you can
probably guess, runs at an even 3GHz — just 66MHz shy of the previous champ.
There will be other 800MHz FSB processors to come, both lower and higher clocked
than today’s 3.0C, but for now this is all Intel is introducing.
Other than 800MHz FSB support, these new C processors will feature Hyper Threading
(HT) and sell for a slight premium ($20 — $40) over other non-HT Pentium 4’s
courtesy of the improved performance provided by HT.
We’ve already provided quite a bit of information on the platform that Intel
is launching with the Pentium 4 3.0C, so be sure to read
our 875P review to get the details before continuing with this review.

, according to our tests.
The performance of 4 cores, if any, and performance per core has the greatest impact on the result, since most games do not fully use more than 4 cores.
The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.
Speed in office use
Performance in everyday work such as browsers and office applications.
The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.
Similarly, many professional applications such as various CAD programs ignore multi-threaded performance.
Speed in heavy applications
Performance in resource-intensive tasks loading a maximum of 8 cores.
The performance of all cores and their number has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.
At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values corresponding to the processor.

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.
We believe that a minimum 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.
Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.
When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum). A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.

Benchmarks
Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Tests in games
FPS measured by us in popular games on Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz and compliance with system requirements. Please note that the official requirements of developers in games do not always match the data of real tests. Also, the result is strongly influenced by the overclocking of the system and the graphic settings in the game. We test at high settings in FullHD resolution to get numbers close to real gameplay.
