The 5.5 million transistor device will be introduced in the fourth quarter of this calendar year, and will be targeted at workstation and high-end desktop systems,, as well as cost-effective servers. The Pentium Pro processor will deliver the highest level of performance on 32-bit software for the Intel architecture. The Pentium Pro processor is the first product of a parallel engineering effort undertaken by Intel in the early 1990s. Its unique Dynamic Execution engine was conceived when today's Pentium processor was still a software simulation. The compressed design cycles of new generations of chips have resulted in the delivery of some of the most powerful, low-cost microprocessors for a widening spectrum of uses. For example, Intel was recently selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to build a 9,000-processor computer based on the Pentium Pro processor that will deliver 10 times the performance of today's fastest supercomputers. For more information on the Pentium Pro processor visit Intel's home page on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.intel.com/. Coming soon, those visiting Intel's web site will have the opportunity to create a 3D image rendered on a Pentium Pro processor-based web server located in Oregon. We will keep subscribers to this list updated on the availability of this software. ------- End of Forwarded Message
