The Pentium (also referred to as the i586 or P5 Pentium) is a microprocessor introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993. It is the first CPU using the Pentium brand . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Considered the fifth generation in the x86 (8086) compatible line of processors, [ 5 ] succeeding the i486 , its implementation and microarchitecture was internally called P5 .
Pentium is a series of x86 architecture-compatible microprocessors produced by Intel from 1993 to 2023. The original Pentium was Intel's fifth generation processor, succeeding the i486; Pentium was Intel's flagship processor line for over a decade until the introduction of the Intel Core line in 2006.
The Pentium Pro is a sixth-generation x86 microprocessor developed and manufactured by Intel and introduced on November 1, 1995. [1]: D-2 It introduced the P6 microarchitecture (sometimes termed i686) and was originally intended to replace the original Pentium in a full range of applications.
Logo from 1993 The latest standard badge design used by Intel to promote the Pentium brand. The Intel Pentium brand was a line of mainstream x86-architecture microprocessors from Intel. Processors branded Pentium Processor with MMX Technology (and referred to as Pentium MMX for brevity) are also listed here. It was replaced by the Intel ...
The Pentium Pro processor (and NetBurst) has been on the market for more than 21 years [1] and so cannot be subject to patent claims. The i686 subset of the x86 architecture is therefore fully open. The Opteron 1000 series processors have been on the market for more than 21 years [ 2 ] and so cannot be subject to patent claims.
The Pentium Pro is the first of Intel's sixth-generation CPUs targeted at the enterprise and server markets.. The processor was relatively unusual in that the Pentium Pro used a unique "on-package cache" arrangement; the processor and the cache were on separate dies in the same package and were connected closely by a full-speed bus.
The successor to the Pentium M variant of the P6 microarchitecture is the Core microarchitecture which in turn is also derived from P6. P6 was used within Intel's mainstream offerings from the Pentium Pro to Pentium III, and was widely known for low power consumption, excellent integer performance, and relatively high instructions per cycle (IPC).
Pentium 4 [3] [4] is a series of single-core CPUs for desktops, laptops and entry-level servers manufactured by Intel. The processors were shipped from November 20, 2000 until August 8, 2008. [5] [6] All Pentium 4 CPUs are based on the NetBurst microarchitecture, the successor to the P6.
