P6 Processor Overview
Intel's P6 family of processors...
o Ensures complete binary compatibility with previous generations of the
Intel Architecture.
o Delivers superior performance through an innovation called Dynamic
Execution*.
o Provides support for enhanced data integrity and reliability feaures:
ECC (Error Checking and Correction), Fault Analysis & Recovery, and
Functional Redundancy Checking.
o Includes features that will greatly simplify the design of multiprocessing
systems.
The first member of the P6 processor family...
o Arrives in desktops and servers in 1995.
o Integrates about 5.5 million transistors on the chip, compared to
approximately 3.1 million transistors on the Pentium processor.
o Will operate at 133 MHz with estimated performance at more than 200
SPECint92.
o Will initially be produced on the same high volume 0.6 micron process
currently used for the 90 and 100 MHz versions of the Pentium processor,
and will then move to a 0.35 micron process.
o Delivers performance that will scale up to 1000 MIPS with four processors.
