• Incorporates separate 16 Kbyte level-one caches(32Kbyte total), one for instructions and one for data.

• Incorporates a 128 Kbyte unified, non-blocking, level-two cache that improves performance by reducing the average memory access time and providing fast access to recently used instructions and data.

• A pipelined Floating-Point Unit (FPU) for supporting the 32-bit and 64-bit formats specified in IEEE standard 754, as well as an 80-bit format.

• Parity-protected address/request and response system bus signals with a retry mechanism for high data integrity and reliability.

Pentium® III Processor

The Pentium III processor integrates the P6 Dynamic Execution micro-architecture, Dual Independent Bus (DIB) Architecture, a multi-transaction system bus, and the Intel® MMX™ media enhancement technology. In addition, the Intel Pentium III processor offers Internet Streaming Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions, 70 new instructions enabling advanced imaging, 3D, streaming audio and video, and speech recognition for an enhanced Internet experience. Most Pentium III processors come equipped with an advanced transfer cache and advanced system buffering to meet the higher data bandwidth requirements of today's environments.

The Pentium III processor incorporates a 32K (16K for infrastructure and 16K for data) primary or Level 1 (L1) cache to provide the highest information access speeds available. The non-blocking L1 cache, gives you rapid access to your most heavily used data.

Working along with the L1 cache, the Pentium III processor has either a 512K unified, non-blocking, Level 2(L2) cache or an integrated 256K Advanced Transfer Cache. The integrated 256K L2 cache is located on-die and runs at the core frequency of the processor. The L2 cache is an area of high-speed memory that improves performance by reducing the average memory access time.

The motherboard is the main circuit board inside your computer. The motherboard contains the central processing unit, the bus, memory sockets, expansion slots, and other electronic components. Intel's versatile and performance-driven motherboards for the Pentium III processor -- D820LP, D815EEA, D810EMO, VC820, CA810E, SE440BX-2, JN440BX -- provide a solid foundation for the brain of your computer.

A number of integrated circuits designed to perform one or more related functions, the chipset is often used to refer to the core functionality of a motherboard. Intel's 820, 840, 810e, 440GX and 440BX chipsets optimize the power of the Pentium III processor for added power on and off the Internet.

The internal bus connects all the computer components to the chipset and main memory. It is a collection of wires through which data is transmitted from one part of a computer to another. Versions of the Pentium III processor are available with either a 100 MHz or a 133 MHz system bus designed to work with the Intel® 820, 840, 810e, 440GX and 440BX chipsets. Together, they give your computer powerful internal connections that achieve a higher level of performance.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is your computer's main source of memory. The Pentium III processor comes with 64MB of RAM, allowing you to run complex or multiple programs simultaneously. To boost your performance, the Pentium III processor also comes with Synchronized Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), allowing for an extremely fast transfer of data between the microprocessor and the memory.

The mobile Intel® Pentium® III processors, based on the Intel P6 micro-architecture, feature Intel® SpeedStep™ technology, a revolutionary new technology that enables you to automatically switch between maximum performance or optimal battery modes to increase speed, performance, and power. Intel's QuickStart technology for mobile processors optimizes power consumption by working at lower overall power rates when the system sits idle. The use of Intel's 0.18-micron technology minimizes the processor package for unprecedented performance and mobility. The Advanced Transfer Cache-256K on-die L2 cache heightens productivity while maintaining the same temperature as previous processors. With over 28 million transistors and the 100 MHz system bus, you'll get greater reliability and faster access to memory and peripheral data.

The mobile Pentium III processor-based systems are the fastest, smallest, most flexible mobile PCs yet. Internet Streaming Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions enhance streaming multimedia and graphics applications, on your hard drive and over the Internet, so you can both produce and enjoy higher-quality multimedia. You'll be amazed at your increased productivity in all aspects of computing: better graphics and audio, faster communication, more power for applications and a richer Internet experience, in the thinnest and lightest mobile PCs ever.
