Will there be a Pentium 5 processor?

there is a new Intel CPU in the pipeline, named Conroe. the only thing i read is a short test report of a comparison, Conroe vs. an overclocked (2.8GHz) Athlon 64 FX-60, whereby amazingly the Conroe beat in all tests AMDs flagship.\n\ntest report\nhttp://techreport.com/etc/2006q1/conroe/index.x?pg=1

dual cores are best for multitasking and p4s are best for gaming. \n\nif you dont already have a pentium motherboard though, please consider getting an AMD brand instead. they are cheaper and less resource intensive.

I would get a Pentium Duo Core (At least 1.8Ghz), about 1GB of RAM, 80GB Hard Drive (Preferably 7200RPM) DVD-R, and a 15.4 Truebrite Widescreen display.\n\nBut that's just me.

Pentium Xeon is mainly for servers and costs a lot, some use it for 3D rendering. Pentium M uses centrino mobile technology mainly in laptops. The best Pentium Processor is the Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition 955, having two cores @ 3.46Ghz. But the high price of over $1000 scares a lot of customers.\n\nTomshardware Guide compares all kinds of CPUs, here's a link to one of their charts where they list the CPUs according to performance: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

no you cannot upgrade laptop processors.  you will have to purchase a newer laptop. and my advice would be to make sure that it is Windows Vista compatible. (that is the new operating system that will be released by Microsoft in January 07)

The Pentium is a fifth-generation x86 architecture microprocessor by Intel. First shipped on March 22, 1993, it is the successor to the 486 line. The Pentium was originally to be named 80586 or i586, but due to an ongoing battle with Advanced Micro Devices over the use of the previous processor generations' names--80386 and 80486--and the inability to trademark a number, Intel enlisted the help of Lexicon Branding in order to give their new processor line the Pentium brand. i586 is used in programming reference and parlance though, referring to all the early Pentium processors, and processors that are feature-compatible with the Pentium made by Intel's competitors.

Use intel Processor. Many Operating System full support this processor. You don't need doubt about the compatibility with many OS, like Linux and other Unix.

There is the P4 which has many different versions such as the Pentium M (mobile cpu - centrino), the core duo, the Xeon, the standard P4 which ranges from a 400mhz bus to an 800mhz bus, and then the Pentium D which is the dual core CPU.\n\nThe very top chip I think they have on the market right now is the Intel Pentium Extreme Edition which is a dual core chip with 2x2mb of cache and a 1024 bus.\n\nAs for the AMD, there is the sempron which is AMD's answer to the celeron (but better IMHO) and then the Athlon 64, which is a pretty awesome chip, but not as awesome as the AMD Athlon 64 X2 which is the dual core version of the AMD line.  The opteron is the name of AMD's server chip line, and they do come in both single and dual core.  Then, of course, is the Turion CPU which is the mobile chip.\n\nI like both chips, I usually sell more AMD than INTEL chips.  You can pick up a dual core AMD Athlon 3800+ X2 for around $300 and it runs sweet when paired up with a gig or two of RAM.\n\nHope this helps!

You would be able to know using the processor model number (not speed).

honestly, junk it \n\nmuch cheaper than searching 4 old processors not knowing if they work at all\nget a new p4 nope, get a pentium dual core ... just say yes ... lottsa ideas then

yeah i would say that it is, but it depends if the pentium 4 has HT (hyper-theading) technology if it does have HT tecchnology, then the pentium 4 would be faster

And you won't find a new processor that fits it either.  The current Pentium 4/Pentium D processors use the LGA 775 socket.  But I don't like Intel processors anyway.  I like AMD and that wold be socket 939 for a good number of them.  If you're serious about upgrading you're going to have to get a new motherboard to fit the processor of your choice.  However, depending on the speed of the PIII you may be able to run XP if it is faster than say 700MHz but don't expect it to be a speeding bullet.  Not to mention that you'll need a minimum of 256MB of memory (I like having at least 512MB) but I won't touch a system that has less than 1GB.  As long as you aren't going to play games and already have sufficient memory, and I hate to say this because it goes against every fiber in my being, you'll be fine.

yes buy a faster processor just make sure you get one of the same brand thats in there and that the motherboard will support it by going to the manufacturer of the motherboards website and looking at the specs or reading the book that came with it

depends on how will you use it\nthe Pentium M is a dothan core processor centrino based\nit can be faster\n\nand speed isnt always better\nlets take AMD their processors all of them are less than 3 ghz\nand yet they beat all the intel 4 ghz cpus\n\nits a matter of how the cpu porcesses the data\nand a Pentium M is much better desind in that matter\n\nu can use it on a desktop computer by buying a part from ASUS a converter board from 479 to 478.\n\nu can wait till Q2-Q3 2006 and intel will release new cpus based on the new technology but with more cache momery and dual core even quad core.\n\nback to the answer\n\nTomshardware.com performed a test with the converter board and it came out to work faster than many desktop processors even in games.\nbut the best performance is with multimidia tasks.

Yes !! go for P-IV processor with good speen and Intel orignal motherboard. \nYou memory should be 512 MB and higher \nYou may use graphic card for better

I would certainly not go with a Pentium 4.  The best one out right now is the Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo is the laptop version).  This along with 1-2 gigs of ram and 80+ gigs of hard drive space, and a video card 64megs of video ram should be good for the next few yeras.  If you wnat to save money, you can get about the same thing with a Pentium M processor, but I would certainly not use a pentium 4, he/she will get no battery life out of it.  they also are very hot, and aren't very fast at all.  the Pentium M and Duo even tho it has a lower clock rate (the gigahertz) they are much more efficient per clock cycle (they do more each time, rather then simply doing a little very fast).
