Pentium D is a family of Dual-core microprocessors based on Intel
NetBurst micro-architecture. The Pentium D CPUs have almost all
features of Prescott
/ Cedar Mill
microprocessors - same size of level 1 instruction opcode and data
caches, 1 or 2 MB level 2 cache per core, support for SSE3
instructions, Extended Memory 64 Technology and Execute Disable bit
capability. The dual-core processors do not include HyperThreading
technology. The Pentium D CPUs have higher power consumptions than
Pentium 4 processors, but not significantly higher.
