Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz   [Computer Buyer]
COMPANY: Intel PRICE: £424(£499)  
RATING: ISSUE: 146  DATE: May 03
   

Scoring almost 1,000 points more than the Athlon XP 3000+ in our 3D benchmarks, the Pentium 4 proves itself a beast of a processor. Unfortunately, this power comes at a price. The 3.06GHz Pentium 4 costs over four hundred quid, excluding VAT. If you must have the fastest, and money is no object, this is the processor for you. But you're paying almost half as much again for an improvement of just 10 per cent over the Athlon XP 3000+'s score. With the money you'd save by buying the Athlon, you could buy a cracking graphics card as well.

SPECIFICATIONS:
3.06GHz processor with Socket 478 connector, 800MHz front-side bus, 20K level 1 cache and 512K level 2 cache.
