Outstanding Performance For All PC Software

While incorporating new features and improvements made possible by advances in semiconductor technology, the Pentium processor is fully software compatible with previous members of the Intel microprocessor family, thereby preserving the value of users' software investments which are worth billions of dollars. The Pentium processor family meets the demands of computing in a number of areas, for example, the Pentium processor efficiently executes all the leading operating systems and numerous demanding applications such as:

The Pentium processor family is produced using advanced semiconductor manufacturing process technology and has features that are less than a micron (one-millionth of a meter) in size. The Pentium processor 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, and 120MHz are implemented in 3.3V, 0.6 micron technology, and the Pentium processor 120MHz, 133MHz, 150MHz, 166MHz, and 200MHz are implemented in 3.3V, 0.35 micron technology.

In addition to containing all the features of previous generations of Intel processors, The Pentium processor family provides significant enhancements and additions including the following:
