P3s and P4s are using different bus speeds, micron levels and different assembly calls

Obvious answer, Pentium 4's are faster, newer, use more power, generate more heat, run on faster bussed motherboards, allow faster speed memory, have more caching built in, perform more processes , and COST MORE! And it's really cool to get a machine with one. Hope that sums it up for ya! Have a nice day!
