What is the difference between a Pentium R and Pentium III processor?

There is no "Pentium R" processor. Knowing this, the biggest difference is that the Pentium III exists and the other does not.

Is the Intel Pentium III the name of a laptop processor?
The Pentium III was a processor found in many computers, both desktop and laptop, in 1999 and early 2000s.
What type of processor does a Dell Precision 410 workstation have?
The Dell Precision 410 workstation was equipped with either a Pentium II or a Pentium III processor, at a speed between 350 and 700 MHz.
Can a Pentium II processor be upgraded to a Pentium III?
In some cases, yes. If the BIOS of the motherboard has the proper microcode updates to control the processor, and the FSB (front side bus) is at a high enough rate, you can install a Pentium III processor on the older board.
Does an Intel Pentium III processor have an L2 cache?
Yes.
What was the first processor to contain SSE?
The Intel Pentium III.
Can a Gibayte GA-6BXC motherboard support an Intel Pentium III processor?
Yes. The GA-6BXC can support any Slot 1 Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processor. For the faster Pentium IIIs, you will need to purchase a "slotket" to convert a Socket 370 processor to the Slot 1 interface.
Does the Xbox have an Intel Pentium III processor?
Sort of. The processor is an Intel Coppermine-core processor that runs at 733 MHz. It is soldered onto the motherboard in BGA2 fashion, similar to that found in many older Pentium III and Celeron laptops. The processor can't be considered a Pentium III because it has half the L2 cache of a normal Pentium III at that speed and FSB. It's not a quite a Celeron either, though, since no other Celeron in that layout had that high an FSB (133 MHz in the Xbox vs. 100 MHz for other mobile Celerons. It thus sits somewhere in between in terms of performance.Architecturally, it is no different than a Pentium III, though. Linux applications written for the Pentium III can run without modification on the Xbox.
Can Sun Solaris 10 be installed on an AT motherboard with an Intel Pentium III processor?
I've yet to encounter an AT motherboard that supported a Pentium III processor. All the same, it is possible to run Solaris 10 on a Pentium III computer. You'll need at least 256 MB of RAM, however.
What Intel processor is an AMD Duron equivalent to?
It is equivalent to Pentium III- and early Pentium 4-based Celerons.
Could a PC with an Intel Celeron run a game that requires an Intel Pentium III?
Possibly. "Celeron" doesn't refer to any particular processor. They are cost-reduced versions of the Intel Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M, and Core 2 Duo. Assuming that your Celeron is based on a processor that is faster than the Pentium III, you shouldn't have any problems. If yours is based on the Pentium III, check the clock speed. A 1.2 GHz Celeron, for instance, is probably fast enough for a game that requires a 1 GHz Pentium III.Other factors, such as the graphics card of your system, may also be important.
What was the first processor to include SSE?
SSE was first used with the Intel Pentium 3 III.
Can you change the processor in an IBM Thinkpad A30 from an Intel Pentium III to an Intel Pentium 4?
No, the Pentium 3 and Pentium 4 are not only samples of 2 completely different architectures, but also use a different socket so a change between the 2 on the same motherboard is impossible.
