  Can the P4 with HT technolgoy make your business PCs work as hard as your business?


Your company is working harder than ever—and
so are your business PCs. IT-oriented background services such as virus scans, file encryption and e-mail compression make the computing infrastructure more robust, but add to the load on the PC. Applications and operating systems are more feature-rich and power-hungry, and users increasingly multitask among browsers, e-mail and productivity applications.

Between multitasking and background processing, business computing demands a new approach to performance—to keep systems responsive and users operating at peak efficiency.

Now, Intel brings its exclusive Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology to the desktop, meeting these demands and giving business users the power to do more at once. Pioneered on Intel’s advanced server processors and supported now on a range of Intel® Pentium® 4 processors, HT Technology empowers the PC client with advanced performance that delivers immediate business value. In fact, a Pentium 4 processor-based PC at 3 GHz, with the Intel® 865G chipset and HT Technology enabled, demonstrated more than a sixfold performance boost on the SYSmark* benchmark over an Intel® Pentium® III processor-based PC.


Hyper-Threading
Technology at a glance
What: Groundbreaking technology that gives business PC users the ability to do more in less time.

Why: Because it takes more than just fast clock speeds to deliver productivity in today’s multitasking environments.

How: A single Intel® Pentium® 4
processor supporting HT Technology presents itself to modern operating systems and applications as two virtual processors. The processor
can work on two sets of tasks
simultaneously, use resources that otherwise would sit idle and get more work done in the same amount of time—like you would if you were reading a book while riding an exercise bike.

Impact: Immediate performance
boosts—up to 25% for many
applications and workloads.
Added power that lets IT run
background services like virus
scanning and file compression without impacting end-user productivity.


1 SYSmark 2002 is an industry-standard benchmark designed to replicate today's multitasking environment with background processing.
