This express test reviews the performance of the new processor from Intel — Pentium eXtreme Edition 840 (note: the figure of four disappeared from the CPU title!) and compares it with two top single-core processors from Intel and AMD. Besides, we tested the Pentium 840 processor with disabled Hyper-Threading, though it's a synthetic situation. By the way, we can assume from the specifications of new Intel processors that XE 840 results with disabled Hyper-Threading must be identical to those of Pentium D 840, which price will be much more democratic. But we still refer to this processor as Pentium XE 840 w/o HT in the diagrams to be fair: we actually tested this modification, not the official Pentium D 840.
