Family of microprocessors developed by Intel Corp. Introduced in 1993 as the successor to Intel's 80486 microprocessor, the Pentium contained two processors on a single chip and about 3.3 million transistors. Using a CISC (complex instruction set computer) architecture, its main features were a 32-bit address bus, a 64-bit data bus, built-in floating-point and memory-management units, and two 8KB caches. It was available with processor speeds ranging from 60 megahertz (MHz) to 200 MHz. The Pentium quickly became the processor of choice for personal computers. It was superseded by ever faster and more powerful processors, the Pentium Pro (1995), the Pentium II (1997), the Pentium III (1999), and the Pentium 4 (2000)
{i} pentium microprocessor, relatively new central processing unit from the Intel Corporation (Computers)
A type of microprocessor available in new IBM PC and compatible computers; it is the next step up from the Intel 80486 processor
Intel's successor to the 486 processor Initially called a P5 and later referred to as a Pentium because it was the fifth in the 80X86 sequence of microprocessors It would have been called an 80586 had it not become illegal in the United States to register a number as a trademark See also central processing unit
Name given to Intels successor to the 486 processor (the "pent-" in Pentium refers to the fact that this chip is, in essence, a 586 processor) Pentium technology is currently the standard, with processor speeds ranging from 120 mHz to 600 mHz
A 32-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1993 It contained 3 3 million transistors, nearly triple the number contained in its predecessor, the 80486 chip The Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and, most recently, the Pentium IV microprocessor, have superseded the original Pentium processor (Adapted from http: //webopedia internet com) For more information about the Pentium processor, go to the Intel site (Pentium III: http: //www intel com/home/pentiumIII/index htm; Pentium IV: http: //www intel com/home/pentium4/index htm)
The PC processor more advanced than 486 First there was 286, closely followed by 386, 486 and then the Pentium
(Current version is Pentium III) A computer microprocessor (and the chip that runs it) produced by Intel using advanced semiconductor manufacturing process technology which is less than a micron (one-millionth of a meter) in size A large majority of the new computers being sold throughout the world are run by the Pentium chip
A CPU chip produced by Intel, used in IBM compatible machines The Pentium is the equivalent of the 586 (of the 80x86 chip family)

processing chips designed by introduced in 1993 by Intell are widely used in Windows based machines
Class of processor brought to you by Intel Corporation It is the latest entry in the long list of processors of the 80x86 family Think of it as an 80586 (hence 'Pent'-ium; for 'five') Some batches calculate floating-point numbers incorrectly, but Intel says that you should only run into this problem once every 27,000 years
A registered trademark and name for the current line of microprocessors available from Intel These processors feature a number of innovations to increase performance, including two built - in 8K caches, a 64 - bit system bus, an on - chip floating - point unit, and a superscalar design that can execute two instructions per clock cycle See cache
Pentium is a trade-name of the Intel corporation Originally, it referred to the 80586 chip, but "Pentium-class" has been used to describe machines based on the Intel 80586 family, as well as their counterparts based on Cyrix and AMD equivalents
A high performance 64-bit CISC processor designed and manufactured by Intel Corporation For more information, please visit the Intel Web Site
CPU developed by Intel Corporation, one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of computer chips The Pentium chip is available in a variety of configurations
The Pentium is really the 586 of the generation of CPUs Intel decides to name the chip "Pentium" so they could patient the processor Intel could not patient the numbering system to their CPUs The Pentium CPU has two 8K internal cache (8K data cache plus 8K instruction cache) The Pentium also has a 64-bit data BUS The performance improvement over the 486 CPU is again about 2 5 times
Refers to a number of microprocessors manufactured by Intel corporation, including the first in the line introduced in 1993, the Pentium microprocessor, the Pentium Pro, the Pentium II, and most recently, the Pentium III With the introduction of each successive Pentium product, processing efficiency, speed and power has dramatically increased
