Dorf Boca Raton CRC Press LLC 2000 The Intel Pentium processor introduced at speeds of up to 300 MHz combines the architectural advances in the Pentium Pro processor with the instruction set extensions of Intel MMX media enhancement technology. This combination delivers new levels of performance and the fastest Intel processor to workstations. The Pentium II processor core with million transistors is based on Intel s advanced P6 architecture and is manufactured on .35-micron process technology. First implemented in the Pentium Pro processor the Dual Independent Bus architecture is made up of the L2 cache bus and the processor-to-main-memory system bus. The latter enables simultaneous parallel transactions instead of single sequential transactions of previous generation processors. The types of applications that will benefit from the speed of the Pentium II processor and the media enhancement of MMX technology include scanning image manipulation video conferencing Internet browsers and plug-ins video editing and playback printing faxing compression and encryption. The Pentium II processor is the newest member of the P6 processor family but certainly not the last in the line of high performance processors.
