4 478 Processor.

Note in the illustration that the CPU has a gold triangular mark on one
corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a
specific corner of the CPU socket.

The Intel Pentium 4 Processor in the 478-pin package uses the Flip-Chip

®

NetBurst™ micro-architecture. The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture
features the hyper-pipelined technology, rapid execution engine, 533/
400MHz system bus, and execution trace cache. Together, these attributes
improve system performance by allowing higher processor frequencies,
faster execution of integer instructions, and a data transfer rate of 4.2 GB/s
