Affordable, Performance better than you might think
Not good for high-end gaming
Adequate dual-core performance at an affordable price? Thatll be the Pentium D 820.It may be produced using relatively ancient 90nm manufacturing technology and based on Intels soon-to-be-extinct Netburst architecture which lacks many fancy features,...
What are the lessons to be taken away from the launch of two new Intel CPUs?. Taking the Pentium 4 670 first, its 3.8GHz clock speed, single-core design, and high power requirements when under load make it the last of a dying breed. Performance-wise, ...
Abstract: Dealing with current news means that we rarely have the opportunity to review old products and of course a comparison between the most recent products and those that came out several years ago can get a little problematic. But we’ve decided to push th...
The 820 D proved to be a great CPU, especially given its cost. For $175US, you can have a great dual core cpu in your rig. I compared the 820 D to my Venice 3200+, which cost $270 when it was new. Just a year later, you get twice the power for less m...
Overall performance with the D 820 is good. In most tests, it reported better performance than the P4 650. These were mainly CPU benchmark tests with SiSoft Sandra, PCMark05 or Prime95. But in games, the P4 650 reported higher framerates. However, if...
The gaming performance of the dual-core Pentium D 820 is nothing spectacular, as these games are not designed to take advantage of this processor feature. Therefore, the dual-core Pentium processor was no faster than its slightly higher clocked single-...
Abstract: Four no More After using the "Pentium 4" name for almost 5 years, Intel has finally introduced a new "Pentium". And no, its not the Pentium 5. Its the Pentium D, supporting Dual processor cores on a single CPU die. Try not to be confused by the "Cele...
Abstract: As mentioned earlier in the article we were not originally going to compare the 820 to the FX57/X2/EE due to the latter chips being much more expensive than the Pentium D however what was an afterthought was well worth including in the end. It is clear...
The Pentium D 820 is a great processor for those who like to multitask but who are also on a budget. It would not be my first choice for gaming, but if you are in the market for a fairly inexpensive, general processor, the Pentium D would be a great c...
If you run only single threaded applications and only one application at a time, then that should tell you exactly what processor you need: the fastest single core CPU Intel or AMD make. But that isn’t always the case for most users. I would...
