BetaONE will rise again! - Intel demos 4.7 GHz Pentium processor at IDF

Quote:

Paul Otellini, Intel's president and COO, in a keynote address demonstrated a 4.7-GHz version of its Pentium 4 processor line. In addition, Otellini demonstrated a Pentium 4 processor operating at 3-GHz, saying it would be available this year with Hyper-Threading (HT) technology.

HT Technology was previously only available for enterprise-based servers. HT Technology allows a multithreaded software program to run as though it has two processors.

The Intel COO also outlined LaGrande Technology (LT), which will be integrated into Intel processors in the future. LT technology will be the core hardware technology that helps create a safer computing environment for e-Business, enabling protected execution, memory and storage.
