Evergreen's Performa Processor Upgrade Family Now Powered By Intel's Pentium 4 Northwood Core.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers CORVALLIS, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2003 Evergreen's Performa 4 2.4GHz and 2.0GHz upgrades allow Pentium 4(R) users to migrate from value performance socket 423 Willamette processors to high performance socket 478 Northwood processors Evergreen Technologies, Inc., a leader in PC performance upgrades since 1989, today announced the latest developments in its Performa processor upgrade family. The new Performa 4 upgrades are designed for migrating original socket 423 Pentium 4(R) systems beginning at 1.3GHz to the next generation socket 478 Pentium 4(R) architecture up to 2.4GHz speeds. The original Willamette Core Pentium 4(R) processors were based on Intel's older 0.18 micron manufacturing technology, with speeds starting at 1.3GHz and 256K Level 2 cache See L2 cache. level 2 cache - secondary cache memory. The newer Northwood Core Pentium 4(R) processors are produced with the improved .13 micron manufacturing process that increases the performance scalability of the Intel NetBurst micro-architecture by delivering higher clock speeds with lower thermal power and doubling the Level 2 cache to 512K. "With the implementation of Intel's .13 micron manufacturing process and the migration to a 478-pin processor package, users who purchased systems based on the earlier Willamette core Pentium 4(R) processor have been barred from easily increasing CPU speed See MHz. and power by the socket architecture limitation," said Mike Magee Mike Magee may refer to:
Evergreen's High-performance Performa 4 2.4GHz and 2.0GHz for Pentium 4(R) Socket 423 systems at 1.3GHz and above: Evergreen's High-performance Performa 4 upgrades enable users of Pentium 4(R) systems running at 1.3GHz and above to boost their processing power to that of the more advanced Northwood core Pentium 4(R) CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. . The Evergreen Performa 4 features the newer 478-pin package mounted on a socket 423 to 478 adapter board with 400 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Front Side Bus and the full 512K Level 2 cache. Evergreen's Performa 4 2.0GHz is $249.99 (street price), while the Performa 4 2.4GHz is $299.99 (street price). Evergreen's Economy Performa 4 2.0GHz for Pentium 4(R) Socket 423 systems at 1.3GHz and above: Evergreen's Economy Performa 4 upgrade enables users of Pentium 4(R) systems running at 1.3GHz and above to easily and affordably gain 2.0GHz processor speed. Based on the Northwood core Celeron processor, this upgrade delivers all the features of the Northwood core Pentium 4(R) with a more limited 128K Level 2 cache. This value upgrade option is ideal for those home and business users with more moderate multimedia performance requirements. Evergreen's Economy Performa 4 2.0GHz is $149.99 (street price). Easy Installation, No Reinstallation of Software Necessary: Customers need only open their system case and follow Evergreen's illustrated, step-by-step installation guide to remove the old Pentium 4(R) CPU and replace it with Evergreen's Performa 4 upgrade. The whole upgrade process takes minutes, as the customer will not need to reinstall To go through the installation process once again, because files have become corrupted. See reload. their operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. or application software, a requirement if they chose a complete motherboard upgrade or new PC purchase. Availability and Support: The Evergreen Performa 4 upgrades are available immediately from the "Buy Now" section of Evergreen's website, www.evergreennow.com. Evergreen's Performa product line is covered by a one-year warranty, and technical support is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST PST Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, see there .
