Introduction

Since the release of Pentium 4 a couple of weeks ago, we have seen a large number of different opinions about Intel's new flagship processor. Due to its completely new design it shows quite peculiar behavior in what I would call 'bread-and-butter applications'. The majority of standard benchmarks attest Pentium 4 inferior to average performance, which generated a lot of disappointment. However, we were also trying to point out that the scores with specially Pentium4-optimized software are able to show this processor in a much better light.

Confusion?

This unusual situation generated a lot of confusion, because it makes it very hard to come to a valid conclusion about Pentium 4. Should this CPU be simply dismissed as an overpriced and inadequate solution, or shall we already now call it the big winner of tomorrow's software environment? Are reviewers that despise Pentium 4 simply trapped in the past or are the supporters of Pentium 4 just a bunch of wishful thinkers?

Another Update ...

This promised and somewhat delayed Pentium 4 evaluation update will not be able to answer all of the questions raised about Pentium 4, but it will try bringing new facts to the table, so that we all get a little bit of a better idea what we can expect from Intel's latest and greatest processor product. It will again compare Pentium 4 with AMD's latest Athlon processor, which will soon be available at speeds of 1200 MHz and beyond, running at 133 MHz (266 MHz DDR) processor bus and aided by the highly anticipated DDR-SDRAM memory. We are basing this update purely on benchmarks, which is why I recommend reading our previous publications about Pentium 4 to learn about its new architecture and the benchmark results that we've been seeing so far. Please make sure you have read all of the listed articles below to be able and see the big picture:
