Yes. It can be easily using Meisell-Lehmer algorithm to calculate the numbers of prime up to n in O(n^{2/3}).

or you can see F.Four Divisors.

If you want to enumerate all the primes upto 10^9 in 1 second, Segment Sieve of Eratosthenes plus Wheel Factorization will help a lot.

An example using primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, code
