Processor

[georgegeorge]

Can someone tell me if this processor is good or bad and some info...

 

[Rishwin]

Information for what?
Its all there: Socket 478 Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.8Ghz and with 1mb L2 Cache

Its an Intel.
And it'll work in any Socket 478 motherboard.
And its fairly old/outdated

 

[georgegeorge]

So is it good or bad?

 

[Rishwin]

That depends.

Do you have it? Are you just looking for a rating on your CPU? Are you wanting to buy it?

 

[georgegeorge]

my friend bought new pc, so he want to give it to me...

 

[Rishwin]

Well what are the specs of your current PC then?

And hes giving you JUST the CPU?

It's a discontinued 4 year old CPU. It's slow as hell. If it's free then why not if you have to pay for it then don't bother spending more then $10.

Hey I got the 3,2 Ghz version of it rotest:

 

[linklink88]

And I got the 3,0 Ghz ^^ But I got the NW core

Hey I got the 3,2 Ghz version of it rotest:

yea, and you've had it for how long?
brand new its like $50 now, where else when you bought it it was probably about $300 and top of the line. times change... and in the IT industry... this happens rly fast

It happens to often. =P

My laptop running a 1.83 ghz Yohan will fly circles around a 3.2ghz Northwood. Hell even if the Northwood was at 3.8ghz it would still fly circles around it. :icon6:

Other then internet surfin, listenin music, watchin movies and some other simple stuffs, it will start to lag, so, dont. =)

 

[bytebull]

that's not a bad CPU. Unless you are gonna run high end graphic applications and mutli-task.

that's a decent CPU...

most people don't understand that gaming apps use mostly RAM and GPU logic.

the cpu is just the hub that it all runs through..

so that's not a bad CPU...

Imagine dumping several 5 gallon buckets of water into a funnel, and waiting for it to seep through a 1/4 inch tube. That tube is yoru processor, the higher quality/more cores it has, the faster those buckets of water can be processed.

So a bigger cpu means a larger tube for data to be pushed through, hence, it gives all around performance.


Thats like taking top of the line GPU/Memory/Hard Drives and running it through a bottom rate CPU... youll get a big ol bottleneck and things will run awful slow compared to what they could be running
