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-...

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...

In this review we tried to compare the processors from the mainstream pricing segment of the today’s CPU market. The situation here changed when Intel announced its dual-core Pentium D processors. The lowest model in this family working at 2.8GHz co...

Preview: Today Intel launches the Pentium D line and the Pentium 4 Model 670. Model 820 of the D line is a 2.8GHz dual-core processor with a startlingly low price, and the P4 670 clocks at 3.8GHz. Can cheap dual-core Pentiums slow AMDs momentum?

In recent months, the race between the two major industry playersto bring dual-core processing to the masses has heated up.On April 4th, Intel delivered its first dual-core Pentium offering in the form of the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition 840. AMD was soo...
