	Pentium Pro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was this, along with the Pentium Pro's high price, due in part to the full speed on-die L2 cache, that caused the rather lackluster reception for the chip among many home PC enthusiasts, given the dominance at the time of the 16-bit Windows 3.1x and MS-DOS.
		Pentium Pro clock speeds were 150, 166, 180 or 200 MHz with a 60 or 66 MHz external bus clock.
		The Pentium Pro was succeeded by the Pentium II, which was essentially a cost-reduced and re-branded Pentium Pro with the addition of MMX and enhanced 16-bit code performance.

	PCTechGuide - The PC Technology Guide
		Intel's Pentium Pro, which was launched at the end of 1995 with a CPU core consisting of 5.5 million transistors and 15.5 million transistors in the Level 2 cache, was initially aimed at the server and high-end workstation markets.
		The Pentium Pro was also the first Intel microprocessor for some years not to use the venerable Socket 7 form factor, requiring the larger 242-pin Socket 8 interface and a new motherboard design.
		The Pentium Pro was also the first processor in the x86 family to employ superpipelining, its pipeline comprising 14 stages, divided into three sections.

		Intel introduced the P6 design in November 1995 in the guise of the Pentium Pro.
		The cache on the Pentium Pro ran at full clock speed, and was incorporated directly onto the processor package which made it exterely expensive to manufacture.
		The Pentium Pro could also be used in multi-processor systems of up to 4 processors which made it especially suitable for NT servers.

		In contrast, the first Pentium Pro processor includes a 256KB L2 cache in the same package and the CPU communicates with its L2 cache using a private internal bus.
		The component bus of a Pentium Pro processor is designed to interface to a cache coherent memory bus and includes features to optimize cache-to-memory data transfers.
		The first Pentium Pro processor will be built on the same process as today's Pentium processors--including the high-volume.6 micron process, and the advanced.35 micron process.

	Intel History - The Processor Emporium (UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Intel was one of the pioneering Microprocessor manufacturers when it created the 4004 processor in 1971.
		The Intel 8086/8088 range of processors were based upon Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) which allows the number of bytes per instruction to vary according to the instruction being processed.
		The architechture pioneered by Intel has become known as "x86" due to the early naming system where processors were called 8086, 80186 (not used in PC's), 80286, 80386, and 80486.

		With the Pentium Pro, Intel introduced their first chip with a RISC core, and the world's first 6th generation CPU.
		The major strengths of the Pentium Pro were its very fast maths co-processor, the huge on-chip secondary cache, and the lack of a viable alternative for large server installations.
		Although it failed on the desktop, Intel were able to salvage their investment by pushing the Pro into the cost-no-object workstation market, where it competed successfully against the small-volume, high-performance RISC chips: MIPS, PA-RISC, PowerPC, SPARC, and Alpha.

		Intel has developed a family of technical libraries[3] to address the computational needs of various users.
		The Pentium Pro processor is often referred to as 3-way superscalar because of its ability to decode, dispatch, and retire three instructions per clock.
		It was done on 3632 nodes, or 7264 Pentium Pro (TM) 200 MHz processors, with a theoretical peak of 1.45 TFLOPS (trillions of floating point operations-per-second.) The 57 cabinets of nodes were equipped with 128 Mbytes of memory, making the complete system have over 450 Gigabytes of memory.

	Overflow doesn't occur using Pentium Pro or Pentium II
		When converting a floating point value to an integer value on Intel Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors, a negative value much less than the smallest negative integer does not cause a "Run-Time Error '6': Overflow," as would be expected.
		Intel Corporation has identified an erratum in the Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors relating to the conversion of floating point values to signed integer values when using the Floating Point Integer Store (FIST) instruction available with these processors.
		Intel's documentation on this erratum will note additional ranges of values in which the "Invalid Operation" exception is not set.

	AnandTech: Intel Pentium II OverDrive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		While the patient investors in the Pentium Pro's now outdated technology waited for that anticipated "knock" on their doors, the rest of the market went crunching away with the migration to the Slot-1 architecture of the Pentium II or the Super7 architecture of the K6.
		Even at the introduction of the official replacement to the Pentium Pro, the Pentium II Xeon (which used an even larger interface, Slot-2), the users that once invested thousands of dollars into their "bleeding edge" processors were left out in the dust with an empty promise.
		Intel's goal for the OverDrive line of processors has been to provide a processor, with the on-board circuitry to configure itself, requiring only that the FSB frequency be provided by the motherboard.

	New CPUs from AMD and Intel \| Tom's Hardware
		Intel's upcoming Pentium III is an upgrade of the well known Pentium II-core with the new 'streaming SIMD extension, and AMD's new K6-3 is nothing but the latest K6-2-core with 256 kB on-die L2-cache running at core-clock.
		As already said, Pentium Pro was the first PC-processor equipped with this feature and many of you can certainly remember when the programm 'fastvid' improved Quake on a Pentium Pro significantly, because it enabled write combining to the graphics card's frame buffer.
		Intel's Pentium Pro was the first CPU that had a L2-cache running at core clock and thus this L2-cache was getting faster with a faster processor core.

	Meet the Pentium IV, Successor to the Intel P6 Family
		Intel's Pentium IV, formerly known by its code name, Willamette, is the latest member of the IA-32 family of Intel CPUs, and the first successor to the Intel P6 family.
		The Pentium III added a number of enhancements, such as: Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE2) for enhanced floating point and 3D application performance and the Intel Processor Serial Number, a feature that enables the CPU to be identified.
		Whereas the Intel Pentium Pro L2-cache was inside the CPU package, the L2-cache in the new Intel Pentium III is actually on-die, reducing cost and improving cache latency and throughput.

		Pentium Pro refers to the Pentium Pro CPU chip or the PC that uses it.
		Initial tests of the Pentium Pro indicate that the chip is better suited to running 32-bit operating systems and applications, and performance is degraded when running 16-bit applications.
		It is expected that the Pentium will become the entry-level desktop CPU chip, and the Pentium Pro will be used in servers and high-end workstations, many of which will employ a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) architecture where two or more CPU chips are used to increase performance.
