The Pentium OverDrive was a microprocessor marketing brand name used by Intel, to cover a variety of consumer upgrade products sold in the mid-1990s. It was originally released for 486 motherboards, and later some Pentium sockets. Intel dropped the brand, as it failed to appeal to corporate buyers, and discouraged new system sales.
Intel's i486 OverDrive processors are a category of various Intel 80486s that were produced with the designated purpose of being used to upgrade personal computers. The OverDrives typically possessed qualities different from 'standard' i486s with the same speed steppings.

Socket 5 was created for the second generation of Intel P5 Pentium processors operating at speeds from 75 to 133 MHz [1] [2] as well as certain Pentium OverDrive and Pentium MMX processors with core voltage 3.3 V. It superseded the earlier Socket 4. It was released in March 1994. [3]
All models support: MMX L2 cache is off-die and runs at 50% CPU speed; The Pentium II OverDrive is a Deschutes Pentium II core packaged for Socket 8 operation. It comes with 512 KB of off-die full-speed L2 cache, which makes it very similar to the Pentium II Xeon.
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.
It was an updated Socket 1 with added support for Pentium OverDrive processors. Socket 2 was a 238-pin zero insertion force (ZIF) 19×19 pin grid array (PGA) socket suitable for the 5- volt , 25 to 66 MHz 486 SX , 486 DX , 486 DX2 , 486 OverDrive and 63 or 83 MHz Pentium OverDrive processors.
An example of an Intel Upgrade Card. The Intel Upgrade Service was a relatively short-lived and controversial program of Intel that allowed some low-end processors to have additional features unlocked by paying a fee and obtaining an activation code that was then entered in a software program, which ran on Windows 7.
