Intel said it will announce this week its first Pentium-4 processor which will run at 3 Ghz.
The 3GHz P4 processor will also be the first desktop processor to incorporate Intel's HyperThreading technology, which allows a single chip to perform as if it were configured as a dual processor.
The 3 GHz processor is made on 0.13-micron processing linewidths and it includes 512Kbytes of on-die Level 2 cache.
AMD has also long claimed that its processors equal or exceed Intel's MPUs in terms of performance despite operating at lower clock rates.
Intel disputes the claim, and analysts said the inclusion of HyperThreading in the mainstream P4 line will give Intel another weapon in its arsenal.
