| | Pentium Pro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Pentium Pro (P6) core featured an array of advanced RISC technologies, here used for the first time in an x86 CPU. | | | In multiprocessor configurations, Pentium Pro's integrated cache skyrocketed performance in comparison to architectures which had each CPU sharing a central cache. | | | Additionally, unlike motherboard-based cache which shared the main system bus with the CPU, the Pentium Pro's cache had its own backside bus (called dual independent bus by Intel). |

| | Pentium 4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | As is traditional with Intel's flagship chips, the Pentium 4 also came in a low-end Celeron version (often referred to as Celeron 4) and a high-end Xeon version intended for SMP configurations. | | | As a result, the Pentium 4's introduction was met with mixed reviews: Developers disliked the Pentium 4, as it posed a new set of code optimization rules. | | | The design was mostly identical to Pentium 4 (to the extent that it would run in the same motherboards), but differed by an added 2 MB of Level 3 cache. |

| | Pentium II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Intel reverted to the more usual format of placing the processor on the mainboard with the Pentium III but continued the practice of selling essentially similar chips with small and large cache sizes, with the L2 cache moved onto the die itself. | | | This larger package was a compromise allowing Intel to separate the secondary cache from the processor while still keeping it on a closely coupled bus. | | | However, the lack of the off-die L2 cache allowed for more fexibility with overclocking (the missing L2 cache was more sensitive to overclocking than the main chip). |

| | I'll never forget when Intel first announced that the name for the successor to the 486 would be "Pentium." I and most of my fellow computer nerds thought the name was silly and not suitably geeky. | | | In fact, Intel's decision to make enormous sacrifices of performance, power consumption, and cost for the sake of maintaining the Pentium's backwards compatibility with legacy x86 code was probably the most strategically-important decision that the company has ever made. | | | Everyone knew that computer components were supposed to have names with numbers in them; after all, Star Wars droids, Star Trek ships, software versions, Compuserve e-mail addresses, and every other kind of computer-related thing you could think of had a moniker consisting of some mix of numbers and letters. |
