	Pentium II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pentium II is an x86 architecture microprocessor by Intel, introduced on May 7, 1997.
		The original Klamath Pentium II ran at 233 and 266 MHz, were produced in a 0.35 µm fabrication process and produced (for that time) an incredible amount of heat.
		By early 1999, the Pentium III superseded the Pentium II.

	Pentium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pentium OverDrive processors were released at speeds of 63 and 83 MHz as an upgrade option for older 486-class computers.
		The original Pentium microprocessor had the internal code name P5, and was a pipelined in-order superscalar microprocessor, produced using a 0.8 µm process.
		The Pentium brand is traditionally used for desktop and notebook parts, the Celeron brand is used for "value" parts (typically lower performance and lower price), and the Xeon brand is used for high-performance parts suitable for servers and workstations.

		At present, forgers specialize in Pentium II with 266Mhz which they offer as 300MHz models either with a made up labels or in mock plastic casings [1].
		For the new Pentium II with 350MHz overclock protection is achieved by simply using cache chips with an access time of 5.5ns.
		With the Pentium II 350, Intel proposes another new lucrative business idea to the forgers: The difference in price between the 350 and the 333 models is at present a worthwhile US$129.

		Describing the G3 as technically superior to the Pentium II is not quite as serious an error of scale as describing the new Beetle as technically superior to the original, but it's the same basic mistake.
		Clearly, the gap between the Pentium II and the G3 is not as big, otherwise the Pentium II would not be in the race at all -- but the generational gap is there, and it's growing rather than shrinking.
		Maybe a fairer comparison is with the Mobile Pentium II since, after all, the G3 was always intended for mobile computing.

		The Pentium Pro, released in 1995, was designed for PC servers and workstation that needed to serve multiple users or needed the speed required for graphics-intensive applications.
		Among the Pentium II's features are a 512 KB (kilobyte) level-two (L1 and L2) memory cache and a 32 KB L1 and L2 cache, twice that of the Pentium Pro processor.
		The latest Pentium II's are Celeron, a low-end Pentium without the L2 cache, and Xeon, a high-end Pentium that replaces the Pentium Pro for enterprise server and workstation computers.

	Inside the Pentium II Math Bug
		There was nothing illegal about the acquisition of the Pentium II processor.) After running the test on these various processors, I came to the conclusion that a bug did exist in the Pentium Pro and Pentium II.
		Pentium Pro and Pentium II users, on the other hand, are most likely to see the results of this bug in their graphics displays or in heavy-duty numerical analysis programs.
		Another report surfaces that this bug report was calculated to be timed with the Pentium II announcement (even though a rudimentary analysis of the chronology that appeared in the original article would have refuted such claims).

	Olympus MIC-D: Integrated Circuit Gallery - Pentium II Microprocessor
		The Pentium II doubled the level 1 primary cache memory (32 Kbytes versus 16 Kbytes each for instructions and data) and featured new segment register caches that improved the processing of 16-bit code, compared to the older Pentium Pro.
		By eliminating the speedy integrated Pentium Pro secondary cache, and replacing it with a 512-Kbyte secondary cache that ran at half the processor's speed, Intel effectively cropped competition from rivals AMD and Cyrix.
		The 333 MHz Pentium II was followed by the 350 MHz and 400 MHz versions that employed a newer 100 MHz system bus for increased processing speed.

		Investigations at exhibitors at the CeBIT unveiled that the forgers are changing Pentium II chips with 266 MHz clock frequency into 300 MHz versions with little expense and in a grand style.
		Consequently the Pentium II counterfeits now discovered by c't only show the current state of the technology - also as far as the ever better quality of the fakes is concerned: They are almost perfect, and even experts have problems to detect them just by their appearance and without a direct comparison to originals.
		But there is a more reliable piece of evidence for discovering type II counterfeits: The opening of the old casing probably formed a telltale distortion on a small plastic tongue at the bottom right of the metal side of the CPU.

	Pentium II evaluation
		On main memory there is virtualy no improvement with the innovative method because Pentium Pro and Pentium II support multiple outstanding bus transactions (that is, they issue the next read request before the current is finished, therefore eliminating the flaw).
		Pentium II, Cyrix M2 and AMD K6 have write allocation, that is on a cache miss, they read a whole line before they write to it, resulting in lower main memory write performance and higher secondary cache write performance.
		Pentium II is very good on Quake (due to its next generation floating point unit), it reaches 25 frames per second while the best of the rest, Pentium MMX-200, reaches only 15.7.

	Comparison of Athlon, Pentium III, Celeron, K6, M2 CPU's
		Like the Pentium II and Pentium III, the Athlon is mounted in a module with separate SRAM chips for the L2 cache, and it has a special bus that connects the processor to the L2 cache chips.
		Unlike Pentium II and Pentium III, the K6-2 does not have a separate interface for the L2 cache, so the cache speed is limited to 100 MHz and must share the bus bandwidth with memory and I/O traffic.
		The M II design is clearly showing its age, and Cyrix plans to replace it this fall with a chip code-named Gobi.

		I, personally, am a big fan of overclocked Celeron processors for home computers, but since they're not quite a plug-and-go proposition, a proper Pentium II 350 is a decently fast and not too pricey alternative for people who don't want to fuss around running things faster than the label says.

		Unlike the standard Pentium II line, the Pentium II Xeon can accommodate up to 2 MB of L2 cache and runs it at full CPU speed, unlike the Pentium II, which runs its cache at half speed.
		The sheer size of the Pentium II Xeon's cartridge also gives it some rather unique thermal and mechanical engineering requirements.

		The other thing is that the Pentium II's often run so hot that people put fans over the heat sink (just to be sure), and there are stories of people burning themselves on the heat sinks.
		I keep wondering if the next Pentiums are going to have to have liquid cooling (or powered cooling) just to keep them from burning up -- then I remember that active cooling is already options today (many Pentiums have required a fan or special coolers -- and if the fan breaks, your processor burns up).
		Personally I like Pentiums they are so bulky and nostalgic, like those Intel guys in iridescent leisure suits dancing to 70's music -- they remind me of the refrigerator sized disk and tape drives, or big 8" floppy disks that I used in yesteryear.

	AnandTech: Intel Pentium II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Basically the Pentium II is a more advanced Pentium Pro with its L2 cache running at 1/2 the clock speed which, although is a step down from the clock speed L2 cache of the Pro, gives it the lead over AMD's K6 and Cyrix's 6x86MX.
		The core of the Pentium II is much like that of the AMD K6 in that it decodes complex instructions into much smaller and easier to manage RISCops, Intel's version of a RISC86 instruction (they are essentially the same thing).
		The Pentium II 350, 400, and 450 will all run using the upcoming 100MHz bus speed present only on the 440BX chipset (nope, not the LX as originally expected) which, along with the 350MHz+ Pentium IIs, will be released in the first half of next year.

		For programmers and users, the Pentium II offers the MMX instruction set, which is of use in multimedia, digital-video, content-creation, and games applications.
		Also, unlike the Pentium Pro, which operates at 3.3V, the Pentium II operates at 2.8 V, thereby allowing Intel to run it at higher frequencies without unduly increasing its p ower requirements.
		In fact, the Pentium II is a cross between a multichip module and a hybrid using an FR4 (printed circuit board) substrate, as shown in the photo.
