Packed with 4.5 million transistors, the Pentium processor with MMX technology includes a doubled onchip cache size to 32KB and more efficient branch prediction. The processor s input and output pins operate at 3.3 volts for compatibility with today s components while its inner core operates at 2.8 volts. The lower core voltage enables systems to operate within efficient thermal ranges. Maximum power dissipation is 17 watts. The Pentium processor with MMX technology delivers excellent overall balanced performance for consumer PCs.
Balanced performance includes integer, floating point and multimedia measures.
SPEC CPU95 performance for the 233 MHz processor is 7.12 SPECint95 and 5.21 SPECfp95. With the addition of MMX technology-enabled software, users will experience even more performance and quality improvements, depending on the type of application and the extent to which the software developer incorporates the new instructions. On Intel s Media Benchmark the Pentium processor with MMX technology delivers more than 60 percent performance improvement when compared with an equivalent speed Pentium processor. This benchmark, which measures performance on media-rich applications, consists of audio, video, imaging and 3D geometry components. Pricing and availability of boxed processors may be obtained from authorized Intel distributors.
