What is the fastest Intel Pentium 4 hyper-threading processor speed?
On One Hand: Fastest Available ChipThe fastest mass-produced Intel Pentium 4 processor with hyper-threading technology has a clock speed of 3.73 GHz. The chip, with a part number of JM80547PH1092MM, is a 64-bit processor, with 1066 MHz front side bus, and is based on the Prescott 2M architecture.On the Other: Fastest Chip ProducedIntel made a 4.0 GHz Pentium 4 chip, but before the chip was mass-produced and sent to market, plans were dropped, and Intel decided to head in a different direction. It produced several of the chips, but never mass-produced them and did not put them out for sale.Bottom LineThe fastest Pentium 4 chip with hyper-threading technology that Intel ever made was a 4.0 GHz chip that never made it to the market.
