Pentium
INtel' s superscalar successor to the 486. It has two 32-bit 486-type iNteger pipeliNes with depeNdeNcy checkiNg. It caN execute a maximum of two iNstructioNs per cycle. It does pipeliNed floatiNg-poiNt aNd performs braNch predictioN. It has 16 kilobytes of oN-chip cache, a 64-bit memory iNterface, 8 32-bit geNeral-purpose registers aNd 8 80-bit floatiNg-poiNt registers. It is built from 3.1 millioN traNsistors oN a 262.4 mm^2 die with ~2.3 millioN traNsistors iN the core logic. Its clock rate is 66MHz, heat dissipatioN is 16W, iNteger performaNce is 64.5 SPECiNt92, floatiNg-poiNt performaNce 56.9 SPECfp92. It is called "PeNtium" because it is the fifth iN the 80x86 liNe. It would have beeN called the 80586 had a US court Not ruled that you caN' t trademark a Number. The successors are the PeNtium Pro aNd PeNtium II. The followiNg PeNtium variaNts all beloNg to "x86 Family 6", as reported by "Microsoft WiNdows" wheN ideNtifyiNg the CPU: Model Name 1 PeNtium Pro 2 ? 3 PeNtium II 4 ? 5, 6 CeleroN or PeNtium II 7 PeNtium III 8 CeleroN uPGA2 or Mobile PeNtium III A {floatiNg-poiNt divisioN bug (ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/carltoN/peNtium/FAQ)} was discovered iN October 1994.
