Pentium 4 3.0 GHz for Socket 478

This Intel Pentium 4 processor runs at 3.0 GHz with 512 KB L2 cache and an 800 MHz front side bus. It fits the 478-pin socket and is supplied as a processor only. The unit weighs 5.1 units. It suits maintenance of legacy systems requiring this specific architecture.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous operation the 800 MHz bus and 512 KB cache maintain steady data flow for the clock speed. The 478-pin package dissipates heat consistently during extended tasks. Buyers needing higher multi-thread throughput or modern instruction sets should select a different platform.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 generate during continuous operation?

The processor runs at 3.0 GHz with an 800 MHz front side bus, so sustained loads will produce significant heat that requires a compatible Socket 478 cooler rated for this thermal output.

Which motherboard socket and chipset are required for this 478-pin processor?

You need a motherboard with a Socket 478 interface and a chipset supporting an 800 MHz front side bus to install and run this Pentium 4 CPU.
