iCOMP for Intel Comparative Microprocessor Performance was an index published by Intel used to measure the relative performance of its microprocessors.. Intel was motivated to create the iCOMP rating by research which showed that many computer buyers assumed that the clock speed – the “MHz” rating – was indicative of performance, regardless of the processor type. iCOMP ratings based on ...
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 ...

Socket 7 is a physical and electrical specification for an x86-style CPU socket on a personal computer motherboard. It was released in June 1995. [ 1 ] The socket supersedes the earlier Socket 5 , and accepts P5 Pentium microprocessors manufactured by Intel , as well as compatibles made by Cyrix / IBM , AMD , IDT and others. [ 2 ]
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 official Cyrix 5x86 website boasted about several features of the chip that were disabled by default in the final versions. The most controversial of these features was the branch prediction feature, which was enabled in the benchmarks results on the company website when comparing the chip to Intel's Pentium processor.
Pentium II processor with MMX technology, SECC cartridge. The Pentium II [2] is a brand of sixth-generation Intel x86 microprocessors based on the P6 microarchitecture, introduced on May 7, 1997. It combined the P6 microarchitecture seen on the Pentium Pro with the MMX instruction set of the Pentium MMX.
