for a whole processor family. Since thermal design power relates to the potential maximum thermally significant power used by the most energy using member of a processor family, it is not useful for comparing processors within a particular family. It is also not useful for comparison of the energy efficiency of individual processors in different families, because it relates to the family, not the individual CPU. Thermal design power is defined differently by different manufacturers, so it is not comparable between manufacturers.
Different architectures vary in how many operations they perform per clock cycle, so MHz/W values are not useful for comparing processors using different internal structure (see

Launched in 1999, the Pentium III became Intel's first processor to break the 1 GHz clock speed barrier. By 2000, the Pentium III was replaced by the Pentium 4, which performed even worse in certain applications. Although, in 2001, Intel had resurrected the Pentium III by introducing the Tualatin core. The Tualatin-based Pentium III had well outperformed the Willamette-based Pentium 4 in a variety of applications. However, it appeared that Intel wanted to market the Pentium 4 as their main processor and tried to "kill" the Pentium III by reducing the L2 cache (in the non-S variants) to 256 KB from 512 KB in the Katmai and Coppermine cores and by making the Tualatin-based Pentium IIIs incompatible with older socket 370 motherboards. The Pentium III-S have 512 KB L2 cache and have dual-processor support.
=Pentium 4
=
Released on November 20, 2000, the Pentium 4 was based on an all new microarchitecture codenamed NetBurst. Pentium 4 processors achieved their high clock speeds by using an extremely long instruction pipeline (20 stages in the Willamette, Northwood and Gallatin cores and 31 stages in the Prescott, Prescott 2M and Cedar Mill cores). The Pentium 4 became Intel's hottest-running single-core processor along with their processor to have the longest instruction pipeline to date. Not only that, but the Pentium 4's performance was usually disappointing, as it could not often match the performance of AMD's Athlon, Athlon XP and Athlon 64 processors, and for the first models, even Intel's own Pentium III or even low-end processors such as the AMD Duron or the P6-based Intel Celeron. Intel tried to fix this problem with the introduction of the Prescott core, but it made the Pentium 4's problems even worse, as they performed worse than Northwood-based Pentium 4s in the same clock speed range and generated more heat. The Pentium 4 had reached a clock speed limit of 3.8 GHz by November, 2004 and on January 5, 2006 Intel released the final Pentium 4 models using the Cedar Mill core, which gave off less heat than Prescott. All processors in the Pentium 4 HT range have Hyper-threading, a feature that makes one physical CPU core work as two logical cores.

was Intel's first dual-core processor, and like the Pentium 4 it was based on the NetBurst microarchitecture. The Pentium D uses the multi chip module design, which incorporates two dies on one package, and the Pentium D was essentially two Prescott-based Pentium 4 cores in one chip. While this did increase TDPs, it was not by a significant amount. All Pentium D models are 64-bit. The Pentium Extreme Edition processors have Hyper-Threading, which all Pentium D models lack.

on a single die, using the Core microarchitecture (which was based upon the Pentium M architecture, which was itself based upon the Pentium III). The newer Pentium Dual-Core processors give off considerably less heat (65 watt max) than the Pentium D (95 or 130 watt max). They also run at lower clock rates, only have up to 2 MB L2 cache memory while the Pentium D has up to 2x2 MB, and they lack Hyper-threading.
Although using the Pentium name, the desktop Pentium Dual-Core is based on the

The Intel Core microarchitecture (provisionally referred to as Next Generation Micro-architecture, and developed as Merom) is a multi-core processor microarchitecture launched by Intel in mid-2006. It is a major evolution over the Yonah, the p ...
, which can clearly be seen when comparing the specification to the Pentium D, which is based on the NetBurst microarchitecture first introduced in the Pentium 4. Below the 2 or 4 MiB of shared-L2-cache-enabled Core 2 Duo, the desktop Pentium Dual-Core has 1 or 2 MiB of shared L2 cache. In contrast, the Pentium D processors have either 2 or 4 MiB of non-shared L2 cache. Additionally, the fastest-clocked Pentium D has a factory boundary of 3.73 GHz, while the fastest-clocked desktop Pentium Dual-Core reaches 3.2 GHz. A major difference among these processors is that the desktop Pentium Dual Core processors have a TDP of only 65 W while the Pentium D ranges between 95 and 130 W. Despite the reduced clock speed, and lower amounts of cache, Pentium dual-core outperformed Pentium D by a fairly large margin.
The Pentium Dual-Core processors bridge the gap between Celeron and Core 2.
As of 2009, Intel branded Pentium Dual-Core processors as Pentium. The E5x00 and E6x00 series use the same Wolfdale core as the Core 2 Duo series, and is essentially a Core 2 Duo E7x00 processor with 1 MB of L2 cache disabled.

Core i7 is currently Intel's highest end series of processors designed for gameplay and mid-range to high-end business computers.

-M and Mobile Pentium 4 were based on the same 130 nm Northwood core as the desktop version that preceded them. There were few differences between the two laptop variants, besides the latter chips having a faster front side bus clock (533 MHz vs 400 MHz), Hyper Threading and a much higher thermal design power. Due to the high TDPs of the Mobile Pentium 4s, laptops employing these chips often had severe overheating issues due to woefully inadequate cooling mechanisms and very poor battery life due to the high power consumption of the CPU.
Intel had a dilemma during this time due to the fact they had four different mobile processors being manufactured at the same time (Pentium 3-M, Pentium 4-M, Mobile Pentium 4 and the Pentium M.) The Pentium 3 was already in the process of being phased out, and the power consumption and TDP of both the Pentium 4-M and Mobile pentium 4 proved unsolvable and were subsequently discontinued in favor of the much more efficient Pentium M.

Notebooks using the Pentium M did not require a large and powerful cooling unit and could be built thin and light. While the Pentium M was clocked at significantly slower clock speeds than the Pentium 4-M, it did manage to outperform the Pentium 4-M (for example, a 1.6 GHz Pentium M could outperform a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4-M). In contrast to this, the Pentium M's main disappointment was in floating point operations, because the SSE2 implementations were not equal to those in the Pentium 4.

brand was launched on January 5, 2006, the same day as the final Pentium 4 models. Core processors focus on energy efficiency and a better performance per watt ratio, which the Pentium M already offered. The Core processors added SSE3 but continued to use a 32-bit instruction set. The instruction pipeline was reduced to 12 stages, yet the fastest Core processor achieved a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium M, thanks to a new 65 nm manufacturing process. The Core Solo is actually a Core Duo with one processor core disabled. Intel did this because it was a simpler and cheaper way instead of altering the Core microarchitecture to manufacture Core Solo processors with only one physical core, which would cost extra time and money.

Launched in 1995, the Pentium Pro was Intel's first processor meant for servers as well as their first processor to use the P6 microarchitecture. The processor used a dual-cavity package, in which one cavity contained the die and the other cavity contained the L2 cache, as the Pentium Pro's L2 cache probably could not fit in the die. The Pentium Pro was substantially faster than the Pentium and Pentium MMX in 32-bit applications, but in 16-bit applications, it was slightly slower than the Pentium and Pentium MMX processors. This is because the Pentium Pro was optimized for 32-bit applications.
