A 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 was released on April 2, 2002, and the bus speed increased from 400 MHz to 533 MHz for the 2.26 GHz, 2.4 GHz, and 2.53 GHz models in May, 2.66 GHz and 2.8 GHz models in August, and
3.06 GHz model in November. With Northwood, the Pentium 4 came of age.
Some iteration may have
shipped until August 2008, but the 3Ghz Pentium 4 was introduced in `02, making it an almost 9 year old piece of technology.
