The specification was very popular in the early-mid 1990s, and briefly displaced the AT form factor as the most commonly used. However, the release of the Pentium II in 1997 highlighted the flaws of the format, as a good airflow was important in Pentium II systems, owing to the relatively high heat dispersal requirements of the processor. LPX ...
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.
However, its L2 cache subsystem was a downgrade when compared to the Pentium Pro's. In 1998, Intel stratified the Pentium II family by releasing the Pentium II-based Celeron line of processors for low-end computers and the Intel Pentium II Xeon line for servers and workstations. The Celeron was characterized by a reduced or omitted (in some ...
Intel i945GC northbridge with Pentium Dual-Core microprocessor. This article provides a list of motherboard chipsets made by Intel, divided into three main categories: those that use the PCI bus for interconnection (the 4xx series), those that connect using specialized "hub links" (the 8xx series), and those that connect using PCI Express (the 9xx series).
Intel Pentium MMX AMD K6: PGA: 321 ? 50–66 MHz It is possible to use Socket 7 processors in a Socket 5. An adapter is required, or if one is careful, a socket 7 can be pulled off its pins and put onto a socket 5 board, allowing the use of socket 7 processors. Socket 8: 1995 Intel Pentium Pro: PGA: 387 ? 60–66 MHz Slot 1: 1997 Intel Pentium ...
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 ...
Baby AT motherboard An ATX Form Card, used by later Baby-AT motherboards to allow for USB, PS/2 mouse, and IR connectivity through headers. In 1987, the Baby AT form factor was introduced, based on the motherboard found in the IBM PC/XT 286 (5162) [2] and soon after all computer makers abandoned AT for the cheaper and smaller Baby AT form factor, using it for computers that spanned several ...
Around the time that the Pentium 4 processor was introduced, Intel's Xeon line diverged from its line of desktop processors, which at the time was using the Pentium branding. The divergence was implemented by using different sockets; since then, the sockets for Xeon chips have tended to remain constant across several generations of implementation.
