    The document provides information on the key features and specifications of several Intel processors: The Intel Pentium Pro from 1995 had a 150MHz CPU frequency, 64-bit data bus, 8KB L1 cache, 256KB L2 cache, and 14-stage pipeline. The Pentium II from 1997 was based on the Pentium Pro architecture with some improvements like MMX support. The Pentium III from 1999 added the SSE instruction set and serial number. The Pentium 4 from 2000 had the new NetBurst microarchitecture and deep pipeline allowing clock speeds up to 10GHz.

    Pentium II (Features)

    The Pentium II microprocessor was largely based upon the micro architecture of its
    predecessor, the Pentium Pro, but with some significant improvements.

    The Pentium II[1] brand refers to Intel's sixth-generation micro architecture.

    ("P6") and x86-compatible microprocessors introduced on May 7, 1997.

    7.5 million transistors.


    The Pentium II featured an improved version of the firstP6-generation core of
    the Pentium Pro.
    The Pentium II was basically a more consumer-oriented version of the Pentium Pro.
    It was cheaper to manufacture because of the separate, slower L2 cache memory.
    The improved 16-bit performance and MMX support made it a better choice for
    consumer-level operating systems, such as Windows 9x, and multimedia
    applications.

    Clockrate: 233, 266, 300 MHz.


    The first Pentium III variant was the Deschutes

    Pentium III (Features)

    Pentium III brand refers to Intel's 32-bit x86 desktop and mobile
    microprocessors based on the sixth-generation P6 microarchitecture introduced on
    February 26, 1999.

    The most notable differences were the addition of the SSE instruction set (to
    accelerate floating point and parallel calculations), and the introduction of a
    controversial serial number embedded in the chip during the manufacturing process.

    The Pentium III was eventually superseded by the Pentium 4.

    9.5 million transistors, not including the 512 Kbytes L2 cache.

    usually was capable of running at 600 MHz.

    The first Pentium III variant was the Katmai

    Pentium IV (Features)
    Pentium 4 is a line of single-core desktop, laptop and entry level server central
    processing units (CPUs) introduced by Intel on November 20, 2000
    They had a 7th-generation x86microarchitecture, called NetBurst, which was the
    company's first all-new design since the introduction of the P6 microarchitecture of
    the Pentium Pro CPUs in 1995.
    NetBurst differed from P6 (Pentium III, II, etc.) by featuring a very deep instruction
    pipeline to achieve very high clock speeds.
    NetBurst would allow clock speeds of up to 10 GHz;
    locked from 1.3 GHz to 2 GHz.
    4.2 billion transistors
    the initial 32-bit x86 instruction set of the Pentium 4 microprocessors was extended
    by the 64-bit x86-64 set.
    Pentium 4 processors have an integrated heat spreader (IHS) that prevents the die
    from accidentally being damaged when mounting and un-mounting cooling
    solutions.
    The first Pentium IV variant was the Willamette.
