Intel Pentium 4 2.4B GHz Processor Review - PCSTATS
In terms of performance, the P4 2.4B still performed very well, and it should suit most peoples computing needs.

Benchmarks: SuperPi, POVray

SuperPI Source: SuperPI

SuperPI calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million. The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

Super PI (1 Million digits) Benchmark Results (Lower is better)
Processor Seconds Ranking
1. XP 2700+ (2.16 GHz) 51
2. P4 2.66 GHz 57
3. P4 2.8 GHz 56
4. P4 2.4 GHz 76
5. P4 2.93 GHz 66

Super Pi only tests the raw FPU that's why the P4's do poorly. I ran the benchmark a few times over but always got the same result of 76 seconds.

POVRay Source: POVRay.org

The Persistence of Vision Ray Tracer (POV-Ray) is an all round excellent package, but there are two things that particularly make it stand out above the rest of the crowd. Firstly, it's free, and secondly, the source is distributed so you can compile it on virtually any platform.

Lower numbers denote faster calculation times (seconds), and hence, better performance.

POVRay Benchmark Results (lower is better)
Processor Seconds Ranking
1. XP 2700+ (2.16 GHz) 148
2. P4 2.66 GHz 208
3. P4 2.8 GHz 197
4. P4 2.4 GHz 249
5. P4 2.93 GHz 205

Hmm... This one is a bit puzzling. To be honest I'm not really sure why the P4 2.4B performs so poorly here.
