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 II processor with MMX technology. MMX defines eight processor registers, named MM0 through MM7, and operations that operate on them.Each register is 64 bits wide and can be used to hold either 64-bit integers, or multiple smaller integers in a "packed" format: one instruction can then be applied to two 32-bit integers, four 16-bit integers, or eight 8-bit integers at once.
The K5 is AMD ' s first x86 processor to be developed entirely in-house.Introduced in March 1996, its primary competition was Intel's Pentium microprocessor.The K5 was an ambitious design, closer to a Pentium Pro than a Pentium regarding technical solutions and internal architecture.
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.
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 cases present but disabled) on-die full-speed L2 cache and a 66 MT/s FSB.
The Pentium 4 was a seventh-generation CPU from Intel targeted at the consumer and enterprise markets. It is based on the NetBurst microarchitecture. Desktop processors
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. Later, it was reduced to a more narrow role as a ...
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 ...
