- Pentium
- A family of microprocessors introduced by Intel in 1993. The Pentium represents the continuing evolution of the 80486 family of microprocessors and adds several notable features, including instruction code and data caches and a built-in floating-point processor and memory management unit. It also has a superscalar design and dual pipelining, which allow the Pentium to execute more than one instruction per clock cycle, a 32-bit address bus, and a 64-bit data bus.Available in a range of clock speeds, from 60MHz all the way up to 233MHz, the Pentium is equivalent to 3.1 million transistors, more than twice that of the 80486.
