About the AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU

The AMD Athlon 64 3700+ is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2005 with a suggested retail price of $329. It is part of AMD's Athlon 64 lineup, which is based on the San Diego microarchitecture. The 64 3700+ is compatible with AMD Socket 939 motherboards and is fabricated on a 90 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Athlon 64 3700+ supports DDR1 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Athlon 64 3700+ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Athlon 64 3700+ is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon 64 3700+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Pentium 4 1.8 GHz CPU

The Intel Pentium 4 1.8 GHz is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2001. It is part of Intel's Pentium 4 lineup, which is based on the Willamette microarchitecture. The 4 1.8 GHz is compatible with Intel Socket 423 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 180 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Pentium 4 1.8 GHz has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 8 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Pentium 4 1.8 GHz is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 1800.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Pentium 4 1.8 GHz does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
