NetBurst

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
NetBurst
The technology used in Intel's Pentium 4 chips. It doubles the instruction pipeline to 20 stages, runs the ALU at twice the core frequency and improves performance in the Level 1 and 2 caches. It provides a 400 MHz system bus (frontside bus), which is three times as fast as the bus in the Pentium III. An additional 144 instructions were also added to the instruction set, known as SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extension 2). See Pentium 4 and microarchitecture.

Intel, enjoying the success of the low-power Banias chip used in the Centrino, abandoned the hot-running Pentium 4 NetBurst architecture and refocused on low-wattage designs.
Intel has accomplished this via a drastic shift away from the Pentium''s NetBurst technology.
It is thought that the Netburst architecture introduced in 2000 for the Pentium 4 will be replaced by new technology in the first major adaption of Intel's chips in five years.
