Pentium D
(redirected from Pentium extreme)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Pentium D
One of Intel's first dual-core 64-bit Pentium CPUs. Introduced in 2005 along with the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840, they both share the Intel 64 64-bit technology, but the Pentium D does not include Hyper-Threading. The Pentium D's two execution cores provide two completely parallel processing streams. See dual core and Pentium Processor Extreme Edition.

Twice the Size
The two Pentium 4 cores take up twice as much real estate on the die as one core. (Image courtesy of Intel Corporation)
