Pentium III Processor for the PGA370
Socket up to 750 MHz
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
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
