Pentium Pro

Pentium Pro

  • is a sixth-generation x86 architecture microprocessor built with an intention of replacing the original Pentium.

  • was designed to meet the needs of a server and fit in a rectangular Socket 8 form factor.

  • runs at speeds up to 200MHz, in a 32-bit operating system environment using "dynamic execution".

  • was integrated with 256KB, 512 KB or 1 MB L2 cache running at the processor speed and the clock speeds were 150, 166, 180 or 200 MHz with a 60 or 66 MHz external bus clock.

  • often ran slower than a Pentium while running on 16-bit code and operating systems. This caused the chip to fail in home PC market, as most common operating systems were 16-bit (Windows 3.1) and some parts of Windows 95 itself were still mostly 16-bit.
