socketability
■ Integrated high performance 16 KB
instruction and 16 KB data, nonblocking,
level one cache
■ Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture
increases bandwidth and performance over
single-bus processors
■ Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions for
enhanced video, sound and 3D
performance
■ Enables systems which are scaleable up to
two processors
■ Error-correcting code for System Bus data
The Pentium® III processor is designed for high-performance desktops and for workstations and
servers. It is binary compatible with previous Intel Architecture processors. The Pentium III
processor provides great performance for applications running on advanced operating systems
such as Windows* 98, Windows NT and UNIX*. This is achieved by integrating the best
attributes of Intel processors—the dynamic execution, Dual Independent Bus architecture plus
Intel MMX™ technology and Internet Streaming SIMD Extentions—bringing a new level of
performance for systems buyers. The Pentium III processor is scaleable to two processors in a
multiprocessor system and extends the power of the Pentium II processor with performance
headroom for business media, communication and internet capabilities. Systems based on
Pentium III processors also include the latest features to simplify system management and lower
the cost of ownership for large and small business environments. The Pentium III processor
offers great performance for today’s and tomorrow’s applications.
