Product Description
The Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, Intel's most advanced, most powerful processor for desktop PCs and
entry-level workstations, is based on Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture. The Pentium 4 processor is
designed to deliver performance across applications and usages where end-users can truly appreciate
and experience the performance. These applications include Internet audio and streaming video, image
processing, video content creation, speech, 3D, CAD, games, multimedia, and multi-tasking user
environments. The Pentium 4 processor delivers this world-class performance for consumer enthusiasts
and business professional desktop PC users as well as for entry-level workstation users.
Solution:
Once the Intel(R) boxed processor is installed into a system, the fan heatsink covers the markings on
the processor. The sticker on the box that the processor came in has the processor speed information,
test specification, and lot number, and can be removed from the box and placed on the inside of the
system chassis that the processor is installed into. This will allow quick access to the information
that is covered on the top of the processor when the heatsink is installed. If the system's processor
is later upgraded or replaced causing the sticker inside the chassis to have incorrect information,
the sticker should be replaced, removed or obviously marked as obsolete to avoid confusion.
