Intel Pentium 4 Processor - 3GHz, Socket-478, 1MB Cache

The Intel Pentium 4 processor was a significant step in Intel's processor lineup, designed for desktop use and aimed at delivering improved performance over its predecessors. This specific model, the Intel Pentium 4 with a clock speed of 3.0GHz, was part of the Willamette core generation, which was the first Pentium 4 to be released. It features a front-side bus speed of 800MHz, which was a notable improvement at the time, allowing for faster communication between the CPU and other components. The processor includes 1MB of L2 cache, which helps in reducing latency and improving overall system performance. It uses the Socket-478 interface, which was standard for many desktop processors during its era. The model number RK80546PG0801M identifies this specific variant of the Pentium 4, and it is often associated with the SL7E4 stepping, which may include minor revisions or optimizations.

This processor was typically used in desktop computers during the early to mid-2000s and was suitable for general computing tasks, basic multimedia applications, and light gaming. However, due to its age and architecture, it is not suitable for modern software or high-performance computing needs.
