Pentium processor
it was 1000 big
Intel- started 1993
Not much bigger than the chips of today.
The Pentium family of processors, which has its roots in the Intel486(TM) processor, uses the Intel486 instruction set (with a few additional instructions). The term ''Pentium processor'' refers to a family of microprocessors that share a common architecture and instruction set. The first Pentium processors (the P5 variety) were introduced in 1993. This 5.0-V processor was fabricated in 0.8-micron bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology. The P5 processor runs at a clock frequency of either 60 or 66 MHz and has 3.1 million transistors. The next version of the Pentium processor family, the P54C processor, was introduced in 1994. The P54C processors are fabricated in 3.3-V, 0.6-micron BiCMOS technology. The P54C processor also has System Management Mode (SMM) for advanced power management The Intel Pentium processor, like its predecessor the Intel486 microprocessor, is fully software compatible with the installed base of over 100 million compatible Intel architecture systems. In addition, the Intel Pentium processor provides new levels of performance to new and existing software through a reimplementation of the Intel 32-bit instruction set architecture using the latest, most advanced, design techniques. Optimized, dual execution units provide one-clock execution for "core" instructions, while advanced technology, such as superscalar architecture, branch prediction, and execution pipelining, enables multiple instructions to execute in parallel with high efficiency. Separate code and data caches combined with wide 128-bit and 256-bit internal data paths and a 64-bit, burstable, external bus allow these performance levels to be sustained in cost-effective systems. The application of this advanced technology in the Intel Pentium processor brings "state of the art" performance and capability to existing Intel architecture software as well as new and advanced applications. The Pentium processor has two primary operating modes and a "system management mode." The operating mode determines which instructions and architectural features are accessible.
Type of processors that Intel named Intel Celeron is a "budget" processor for less-intensive computing tasks such as e-mailing, light web surfing and word processing. Since people have digital cameras and like to deal with photos and people like to listen, download music and burn CDs, Intel has made them much faster. Intel Pentium was born in 1993??? (correct me if I'm wrong) and still continues today. Most PCs are Intel Pentiums. Intel has the Pentium, Pentium Pro (kind of like the "early, early, 1995 version of the Xeon/Itanium, which is a powerful CPU), Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4. Now they are just called Pentiums, with subtitles like duo-core, quad-core, etc. Intel Pentiums are mainstream processors, with the Xeon/Itanium, which are workstation and server computer processors, being the upper stream processors.
Pentium 4 vs. Dual CoreThere are MANY differences between these two generations of Intel CPU's. Most notably, Duo Core CPU's possess two processing cores opposed to the Pentium 4's single processing core. While a Duo Core CPU may be operating at a lower overall operating frequency, it is still much more powerful then a Pentium 4 considering it's improved FSB speed, cache size, multiple cores, efficiency, etc.
pentium 1 was invented in 1993
Little of history first Was the first Pentium CPU made by INTEL, the successor to 486 CPU. Instead INTEL name the next generation proccesors with a number ,(every time INTEL's CPU architecture changed it use a number to submit the change) like all the former models,(286,386,486) and while most of the people believed tghat the new name will be 586, INTEL came out with the name PENTIUM, (means 5 in Latin) and keep this name till today ,even after 4 major architectural changes. So from 1993 INTEL adopt the PENTIUM name and put nummbers after P every time an architectural change made. So we had Pentium (P) Pentium2 (P2) ETC. P90 MHZ computer means a computer with a first generation PENTIUM Proccesor, with a clock speed to 90MHz and was the third CPU of Pentium, two first CPUs run at 60MHz and 66MHz.
CPUID is a software package that allows a computer to identify, or ID, the type of processor or CPU being used and the features it provides. It was first introduced in 1993 by Intel.
In 1993, the World Wide Web was born at CERN, the Hubble Space Telescope repaired its faulty optics, Intel released the first Pentium microprocessor, and Nelson Mandela and Frederik Willem de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to end apartheid in South Africa.
