If the system becomes unstable you may have to bump up the processor voltage (which involves another piece of wire). In the article, Dan Zhang is able to take a 1.8GHz Pentium M to 2.4GHz.

All in all, this glimpse at the internals of a Pentium processor provides a fascinating snapshot of high-end Intel semiconductor prowess in the early 1990s.

Intel's top Pentium chip, introduced in late 2000. The successor to the Pentium III, the Pentium 4 features the NetBurst micro-architecture (see NetBurst). All Pentium 4 chips are single core ...

Eventually, the chip giant offered to replace all flawed Pentium processors based on request and cover the costs associated with its Pentium FDIV replacement program. On Jan. 31st, just a few ...

The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code-named Klamath, the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions.

which used the new P5 architecture (hence Pentium) and succeeded the older Intel 486 from 1989. The new chip boasted the ...

He invented the first Pentium Processor that made Intel the world’s biggest chip-maker. He then invented the AMD K6, popularly known as the ‘Pentium Killer’. He has the most cracking ...

Then again, in 1961, scientists predicted that no transistor on a chip could ever be smaller than 10 millionths of a meter -- and on a modern Intel Pentium chip they are 100 times smaller than that.

Although chips including Intel's Pentium 4 series could be overclocked beyond 4GHz before the arrival of AMD's Bulldozer series, it was an AMD's FX chip that marked the debut of the first factory ...
