Datasheet
Product Features
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 the best performance available 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.
