NetBust / Northwood · Intel
Northwood was a 2nd-gen Pentium 4, upgrading sockets, and doubling the L2 cache to 512 KB,
tech node from 180 to 130 nm, and improving clock rate and performance significantly.
Some models even support Hyper-threading, allowind for 2 threads on a single-core.
The idea is that for a +5% transistor budget, it is possible to get a +30% performance in some applications.
Increased transistor budget from 42 to 55 million comes mainly from the doubling of L2 cache.
