Intel today released two new processors, the Pentium D 820 and the Pentium 4 670. The Pentium D 820 is a dual-core Pentium 4 running at 2.8 GHz. The major difference between the Pentium D dual-core processors and the Pentium Extreme Edition dual-core processors is that the Pentium D chips do not support HyperThreading. The other chip introduced today, the Pentium 4 670 is the new top of the line Pentium 4, now running at 3.8 GHz. The Pentium 4 670 does support HyperThreading, but contains only a single core. A number of sites have published reviews of these two chips along with variety of synthetic, system, graphics, office, media encoding, and gaming benchmarks.
