Do you mean Pentium III/Xeon ?
I think the ``/'' is meant to mean ``OR''. This is certainly the =
case for Pentium II/Celeron. I believe the only difference is the =
cache size. The cache size can be determined with a single CPUID =
instruction, but the powers that be don't agree that we should be =
more specific when identifying CPUs that are the same for all intents =
and purposes.
