	Intel® Pentium® III Processor Thermal Management
		When building quality systems using the boxed Pentium III processor, it is imperative that you carefully consider the thermal management of the system and verify the system design with thermal testing.
		Boxed Pentium® III processors are shipped with a high-quality fan heatsink, which can effectively transfer processor heat to the system air.
		For boxed Pentium® III processors in the S.E.C.C.2 form factor, the testing point is at the center of the heatsink base on the top of the processor near to the processor marking area (see Figure 1).

		That's why Pentium III processors were initially bundled with 512KB L2 cache, which was situated in the external SRAM microchips and worked at half the CPU clock frequency.
		Pentium III line was a real success, and a shift to the new manufacturing technology could have given Intel a chance to go on increasing the clock frequencies, as well as to add several millions of transistors to the core.
		The main drawback of all the Pentium III CPUs, which aggravates as their clocking grows, is the insufficient processor bus bandwidth.

		The Pentium III is similar to the Pentium II, but adds some new instructions, and a couple new features.
		It appears that Intel transitioned from.25 to.18 on the Pentium III 600B processor, and the Pentium III 533B is all.18 micron.
		This assumption is based on the fact that Pentium III 600B's were manufactured at 1.6 and 2.05 volts, while Pentium III 533B's were manufactured at 1.6 volts only, according to this page at Intel's site.

	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.
		By contrast, the Pentium III has a larger 512K cache, but it is off-chip and thus runs at one-half of the processor speed.
		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.
