`
`SANTA CLARA., CALlF. -Jan. 8, 1997 -- Intel
`Corporation today introduced the Pentiuf'l'® processor
`with MMX"' technology, the first rTicroprocessorto
`1ncorpor21te Intel's new technology l'or r~roved
`perfoi1TI8nce on media-rich applications. Processors for
`both desktop and ITJ)blle co~uters are available
`ll'l"rl'Edla te ly. A broad nurrber of PC rre nufact u rers are
`introducing systeiTII based on this processor, many
`bundled with a variety of software designed for Intel
`MMX technology. This corrbination of new PCS and
`software will enhance users' expertence on the desktop
`or on the road by enabling higher quality graphics,
`video and audio.
`
`'The concerted effort by members of the conl)utlng
`lnd ustry made 1t possible for the slrrulta neous
`availability of new systel'l"6 and new software that
`takes advantage of Intel's new processor technology,"
`said Mike Ayrnar, viCe president, Desktop Products
`Group. 'We believe the corrbined capabilities will appeal
`to the broadest r21nge of consumers yet. The PC
`experience will be enhanced through a new wave of
`systel'l"6 and software that provide such features as
`life-like color, full-screen video and graphiCs, real-time
`anil'l'iltion and manipulation of images, 3D audio and
`dynarTic lighting," AyrTer said.
`
`The Pentium processor with MMX technology is the
`highest perforl'l'ilnce Pentium processor available. It is
`offered at 166 and 200 MHz for desktop systems, which
`are Initially focused on the consumer market seg~r~mt.
`The two speeds of processors are also offered as
`Individually boxed products for systeiTII Integrators and
`value-added resellers through authorized Intel
`distributors. The 150 and 166 MHz processors for mobile
`co~uters are targeted at the business rTerket
`segment.
`
`Broad support for Intel's MMX technology In the
`software coiTITlJnity has led to the development of new
`educational, reference, games, and convn.mications
`applications, the first of which are available today and
`rTeny rmre of which are expected to be announced
`throughout the year. Many will support hybrtcl
`capabilities, combining the advantages of hlgh(cid:173)
`perfo11T18nce local processing and media storage with
`the benefits of an Internet link for accessing multimedia
`web content, interacting with other people, or updating
`applications.
`For Business usen
`Business professionals who use notebook conl)uters
`benefit as well from the Pentium processor with MMX
`technology. "By Introducing this processor for desktop
`and ITJ)blle systems slrrultaneously, new applications
`designed for MMX technology are Immediately available
`to the rmbile user, • said Stephen Nachtsheim, vice
`president, Mobile and Handheld Products Group. He said
`exanl)les of such appliCations Include vldeoconferenclng
`over standard telephone lines, software-based video
`and JD graphics, and dlgltallmage editing and
`coiTITlJnlcatlons. "Notebook rTBnufacturers will continue
`to keep pace with desktop computers not only in

`Intel Introduces The Penliu~ ProcessCJ" With MMXTM Technology
`performance, but in significant enhancements such as
`MMX technology."
`
`New Logo
`New hardware and software logos have been developed
`for use in advertising, marketing and promotional
`callllaigns beginning this month. The new logos will
`help consumers match the software to the hardware so
`that they may enjoy the best PC experience. Systems
`based on the Pentium processor with MMX technology
`will be identified with the addition of a triangular "hat"
`in the upper left comer of the well-known ''Intel
`Inside® Pentium processor" swirl and lettering. The new
`hardware logo is licensed to system vendors under the
`ongoing Intel Inside program. The rainbow-colored "hat•
`with the "MMX" lettering symbolizes the enhanced
`capabilities of both the CO!llluter and the software.
`Under a new program, the triangular "hat" logo is being
`licensed to ISVs for use on software which has been
`designed to take advantage of Intel MMX technology.
`
`MMX Technology
`Announced last year, Intel's MMX technology is the
`most significant enhancement to the programmer's view
`of the Intel architecture in the last 10 years. The
`technology's development arose several years ago in
`response to the r1se of media-based CO!lllUtlng and Its
`dramatic demand on processor performance to generate
`high-quality graphics, video and sound. The rise of the
`Internet and the challenge of delivering this rich media
`experience over existing communications lines further
`drove the need for higher performance. Intel engineers
`
`developed 57 new instructions to enhance the
`performance of CO!lllute-intensive loops typically found
`in these types of applications.
`
`MMX technology maintains CO!llllete CO!lllatlblllty with
`the Intel Architecture and is also fully CO!lllatible with
`widely used operating systems and application
`software. The technology will be included in future
`processors, including Pentium OverDrive® processors,
`the first of which will be Introduced In the first half of
`this year for upgradable Pentium processor-based
`systems.
`
`Technical Details
`The new processors are built on Intel's enhanced 0.35
`rricron CMOS process technology which allows it to
`deliver high performance with low power consu!llltlon.
`Packed with 4.5 rrillion transistors, the Pentium
`processor with MMX technology includes several
`architectural enhancements, in addition to MMX
`instructions. They include a doubled onchip cache size
`to 32KB and more efficient branch prediction, which
`provide increased performance of 10 to 20 percent on
`standard CPU benchmarks. The addition of MMX
`technology-enabled software will provide even more
`performance and quality i!lllrovements, 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 i!lllrovement when CO!lllared with an
`equivalent speed Pentium processor. This benchmark,
`which measures performance on medla-r1ch
`applications, consists of audio, video, imaging and 3D
`geometry CO!lllonents.
`
`SPEC CPU95 performance for the 200 MHz processor is
`6.41 SPECint95 and 4.66 SPECfp95. Performance for
`the 166 MHz processor Is 5.59 SPECint95 and 4.30
`SPECfp95. The iCOMP{R) Index 2.0 ratings are 182 and
`160, respectively.
`
`Both the desktop and mobile versions of the processor
`utilize dual voltage levels. The processor's input and
`output pins operate at 3.3 volts for CO!lllatibility with
`today's CO!lllonents. The desktop processor's Inner
`core operates at 2.8 volts while the mobile processor
`operates at 2.45 volts. The lower core voltage enables
`desktop and mobile systems to operate within efficient
