TrustedReviews takes a look at the Intel Pentium D & Pentium 4 670 processors along with the new i945G chipset.



If it were a film though, it would probably be called Two Processors and a Chipset. The stars of this little show are Intel’s latest Pentium 4 - the 670, taking the range up to a heady 3.8GHz. Joining this in Intel’s quest for Galactic domination is the launch of a new chip, the Pentium D. Signalling the arrival of dual-core technology for the consumer this is a great leap forward. The Pentium D is launching in three flavours - the 820, the 830 and the 840 running at 2.8, 3.0 and 3.2GHz respectively. Accompanying the new processor is a new chipset to put it in - the 945 Express available with and without the ‘new and improved’ integrated graphics - 945G with, and 945P, without.
