Intel lanzará antes de verano la versión de Pentium a 120 MHz |
Compaq, Dell y HP, primeros fabricantes en adoptar el chip
La redefinición de la gama alta de Intel continúa. La compañía acaba de presentar oficialmente la versión de Pentium a 120 MHz, el exponente más rápido en su catálogo de chips. Varias compañías han anunciado paralelamente los primeros equipos basados en el procesador. Asimismo, la compañía podría lanzar meses después una versión ulterior con una velocidad de 133 MHz, y aún se ve, antes de finales de año, la posibilidad de introducción de un modelo aún más rápido, a 150 MHz
Intel continúa acelerando el calendario de aparición de sus procesadores más avanzados.
En esta ocasión, la compañía ha presentado oficialmente lo que será -a mediados de año en volumen y con equipos en la calle- la versión de Pentium a 120 MHz. Se trata del exponente más potente en su catálogo de chips, pero su adopción por parte de los fabricantes se prevé tan rápida que el gigante de los semiconductores se plantea ya el lanzamiento, tan sólo unos meses después, de una versión ulterior con una velocidad de 133 MHz.
En cuanto al modelo ahora presentado, se trata de un chip basado en la tecnología de 0,35 micras, y obtiene un rendimiento auditado de 140 unidades SPECint, según fuentes de la propia Intel. Con su temprana introducción, no se soportarán de momento implementaciones biprocesador o multiprocesador, aunque fuentes de la compañía han informado de la introducción inmediata de una segunda versión con tecnología de 0,6 micras que sí lo soportará. Por su parte, los grandes actores del PC no han esperado para mostrar en público una gama de sistemas basados en el nuevo Pentium, que irán apareciendo a partir del verano.
Entre estas firmas se encuentran HP, Compaq y Dell. La primera ya ha anunciado el nombre de los nuevos equipos, que estarán disponibles a partir del mes de julio -al menos en Estados Unidos-: se trata de la nueva serie Vectra VL, que en su configuración básica ofrecerá 8 MB de memoria RAM, junto con un disco duro de 420 MB, y su precio estimado de salida gira en torno a los 1.700 dólares.
La estrategia de Compaq se presume más diversificada: la compañía presentará por una parte servidores basados en el Pentium/120 dentro de la gama alta de su oferta (con una versión mejorada del ProLiant), con una memoria interna de 16 MB y una capacidad de almacenamiento de 4 Gb. Su precio podría superar los 12.000 dólares.
Por lo que respecta a Dell, esta firma implementará el nuevo chip dentro de nuevos modelos de su línea OptiPlex, con un nivel de precios que arranca de los 2.500 dólares y unas características básicas que incluyen 8 MB de RAM y un disco duro de 270 MB.
No obstante y en general, Intel tratará de posicionar su nuevo procesador en una franja de precios muy agresiva, con dos objetivos básicos: en primer lugar, fomentar la utilización de otros procesadores Pentium de rango menor (versiones a 60, 66 ó 90 MHz) dentro de la gama baja, donde hoy residen los 486 de gama alta; y, por otra parte, allanar el camino para próximas actualizaciones en la gama alta, con modelos 133 MHz y, según las informaciones que maneja COMPUTERWORLD, también a 150.
Y todo ello dentro de este año.

Pentium | it’s… What is a Pentium?
Pentium (pronounced Pentium ) is a trademark of several generations of x86 microprocessors manufactured by Intel since March 22, 1993. The Pentium is Intel’s fifth generation processor and has replaced the Intel 80486 (often referred to simply as the 486).

History
Intel Pentium 60, the first model Pentium
In June 1989, Vinod Dam (Eng. Vinod Dahm ) made the first sketches of the processor, codenamed P5. At the end of 1991, the design of the processor layout was completed, and engineers were able to run software on it. The stage of topology optimization and work efficiency improvement has begun. In February 1992, the design was basically completed, and comprehensive testing of an experimental batch of processors began. April 19In 1992, a decision was made to start industrial production, the Oregon factory No.
5 was chosen as the main industrial base. The industrial development of production and the final refinement of technical characteristics began.
In October 1992, Intel announced that the fifth generation processors, formerly codenamed P5, would be called Pentium, not 586 as many had assumed. This was due to the fact that many processor manufacturers actively mastered the production of «clones» (and not only) of the 386 and 486 processors. Intel was going to register the name «586» as a trademark so that no one else could manufacture processors with such name, however, it turned out that it was impossible to register the numbers as a trademark, so it was decided to name the new processors «Pentium» (the basis was taken from the ancient Greek πέντε «five»), which also indicated the generation of this processor. 22 March 19At the age of 93, a presentation of a new microprocessor took place, a few months later the first computers based on them appeared.
Main differences from the processor 486
- Superscalar architecture.
Thanks to the use of superscalar architecture, the processor can execute 2 instructions per 1 cycle. This possibility exists due to the presence of two pipelines — u- and v-. u-pipeline — the main one, performs all operations on integers and real numbers; v-pipeline — auxiliary, performs only simple operations on integers and partially on real ones. In order for older programs (for 486) to take full advantage of the possibilities of this architecture, they had to be recompiled. The Pentium is the first CISC processor to use a multi-pipeline architecture. - A 64-bit data bus allows the Pentium processor to exchange twice as much data with RAM in one bus cycle as 486 (at the same clock frequency).
- Branch address prediction mechanism. Used to reduce pipeline idle time caused by instruction fetch delays when the address counter changes while branching instructions are executing. To do this, the processor uses the branch address buffer BTB (Branch Target Buffer), which uses branch address prediction algorithms.
- Separate caching of program code and data. Pentium processors use a 16 KB L1 cache, divided into 2 segments: 8 KB for data and 8 KB for instructions. This improves performance and allows double caching to be available more often than was previously possible. In addition, the caching mechanism has been changed.
- Improved floating point unit (FPU).
- Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
Models
Intel Pentium 75
Initially (March 22, 1993) only two models were introduced, based on the P5 core with frequencies of 60 and 66 MHz. Later, more powerful Pentium processors based on improved cores were released. In addition, mobile versions of processors and Pentium OverDrive processors were presented.

P5
First generation Pentium processors.
The two (only) models were announced on March 23, 1993 and ran at 60 and 66 MHz core clocks, the system bus (FSB) was equal to the core clock, i.e. the core multiplier was 1.0. The second-level cache was located on the motherboard and could be up to 1 MB in size. The processor was produced in a 273-pin CPGA package, installed in a Socket 4 package and operated at 5 V. All Pentium processors are SL Enhanced, which means that they have an SMM system that reduces power consumption. Early versions of processors, with frequencies of 60-100 MHz (P5 and P54C cores), had a bug in the FPU (math coprocessor), which in rare cases led to a decrease in the accuracy of the division operation. This defect was discovered in 1994 and became known as the «Pentium FDIV bug». Processors based on the P5 core were manufactured using an 800-nanometer process technology, using bipolar BiCMOS technology. The processor contains 3.1 million transistors, and the core die size is 294 mm². The Pentium 66 draws 3.2 A and has a power of 16 W, which required an additional fan.
The production of such processors turned out to be very difficult and the yield of suitable crystals turned out to be too low. Many experts, pointing out the numerous shortcomings (see: F0 0f c7 c8) of the first generation Pentium processors, did not advise buying these models. Production had to be stopped for a while. However, the production of improved processors based on the P54C core soon began.
P54C
In October 1993, the second generation Pentium processors were released. Initially, a model with a clock frequency of 75 MHz was released. The processors were manufactured using 600-nanometer bipolar BiCMOS technology, which reduced the die size to 148 mm² (the core contained 3.2 million transistors) and reduced power consumption to 10.1 W (for the Pentium 100). The supply voltage was also reduced to 3.3 V, the current consumed by the processor is 3.25 A. The processor was produced in 296-pin CPGA package and installed in Socket 5 or Socket 7 and was not compatible with Socket 4.
These processors improved the SMM system and added an advanced APIC programmable interrupt controller.
Second-generation Pentium processors use clock multiplier and are faster than the system bus. A multiplier is used to indicate how many times the clock frequency of the processor core is greater than the system bus frequency. In all processors based on the P54C core, the multiplier is 1.5.
P54CS
The first processors based on this core were released on March 27, 1995. In fact, this core is a P54C core manufactured using 350nm bipolar BiCMOS technology, which made it possible to reduce the size of the core die to 91 mm² (Pentium 120 and 133 processors), but soon, as a result of core optimization, its size was reduced up to 83 mm² with the same number of transistors. At the same time, the Pentium 200 consumed a current of 4.6 A, and its maximum dissipated energy (heat dissipation) was 15.5 W.

P55C
Processor Pentium MMX. Top view
8 January 19In 1997, Pentium processors based on the third generation P5 core (P55C) were released. The Intel Research and Development Center in Haifa (Israel) added a new set of instructions to the P55C core, called MMX (MultiMedia eXtension), which significantly increases (from 10 to 60%, depending on optimization) computer performance in multimedia applications. As a result, these processors are referred to as Pentium w/MMX technology (usually shortened to Pentium MMX). The new processor includes an MMX device with command pipeline processing, L1 cache increased to 32 KB (16 KB for data and 16 KB for instructions). The new processor consists of 4.5 million transistors and is manufactured using advanced 280nm CMOS technology using silicon semiconductors, operates at a voltage of 2.
8 V. The maximum current consumption is 6.5 A, the heat dissipation is 17 W (for Pentium 233 MMX ). The die area of Pentium MMX processors is 141 mm². Processors were released in 296-pin CPGA or PPGA package for Socket 7.
Pentium OverDrive
Several generations of Pentium OverDrive have been released.
- In 1995, the first Pentium OverDrive (based on the P24T core) was released. It was designed for installation in sockets such as Socket 2 or Socket 3 and worked with a supply voltage of 5 V, that is, it served to upgrade systems using the 486 processor without replacing the motherboard. At the same time, this processor had all the functions of the first generation Pentium processor (on the P5 core). Two models were released, operating at frequencies of 63 and 83 MHz, the older one consumed a current of 2.8 A and had a power dissipation of 14 watts. Due to the high cost, this processor left before it appeared. And although after some time (March 4, 1996 years old), these processors were replaced by Pentium ODP5V with frequencies of 120 and 133 MHz, based on the P5T core (in fact, it is the P54CS core), they also did not become popular.
- On March 4, 1996, the next version of Pentium OverDrive, the Pentium ODP3V, was released on the P54CT core. This kernel is based on the P54CS kernel. The processor was available in a 320-pin CPGA package for Socket 5 or Socket 7.
- On March 3, 1997, two Pentium ODPMT models (with frequencies of 150 and 166 MHz) based on the P54CTB core (analogous to P55C) are released. Later, 4 August 1997, two more models are released on the same core (with frequencies of 180 and 200 MHz). They were produced in 320-pin CPGA packages and were designed for Socket 5 or Socket 7 (Pentium ODPMT-200 MMX — Socket 7 only).
Tillamook
Processors based on this core were intended for portable computers, used in the so-called. The «mobile module» MMC-1 Mobile Module Connector with 280 pins worked together with the Intel 430 TX chipset and had 512 KB of cache on the motherboard. The Tillamook core (named after a city in Oregon, USA) is a reduced voltage P55C core — the 300 MHz model ran at 2.
0 V, drew 4.5 A, and had a heat dissipation of 8 .4 W. Older models (with a frequency of 233, 266 and 300 MHz) were produced using a 250-nm process technology and had a crystal with an area of 90 mm², there were also versions with 166 MHz core speed Models 200 and 233 were released from August 1997, model 266 from January 1998, and the older model in the line was introduced in January 1999.
Other processors using the Pentium brand
Intel Pentium processors were very popular, and Intel decided not to abandon the Pentium brand, naming subsequent processors as well, although they were very different from the first Pentiums and did not belong to the fifth generation. These are:
