An Intel processor that runs at speeds ranging from 233 MHz to 333 MHz. Pentium II processors contain 7.5 million transistors per chip.
Intel's successor to the "Pentium" processor, requires a "Slot 1" motherboard a different type of design than that used by the original Pentium or AMD chip designs. Older Pentium II processors supported a 66 megahertz "bus" (external clock) speed. Newer models (starting with the Pentium II/350) support a 100 megahertz bus. Slot 1 motherboards that support this faster bus are typically known as "BX" motherboards. Older "LX" motherboards officially support 66 MHz bus speeds only.
The Pentium II is the latest and fastest in the series of Pentium chips from Intel.
A processor range by Intel as the successor to the Pentium MMX. Speeds range from 233MHz to 450Mhz. The package type was a small daughterboard with an edge connector that fits into a slot on the motherboard. This slot is called "Slot 1" and is not to be confused with "Slot A". Pentium II's up to and including 333MHz use a 66MHz bus. A heat sink with a fan must be fitted to keep it cool. Pentium II's 350MHz and above use a 100MHz bus. A heat sink with a double fan must be fitted to keep it cool. See also Processor, Bus, Slot A and MMX.
The Pentium 11 is a Pentium Pro with MMX technology built in, as well as a 512KB L2 cache and 32KB L1 cache (16KB data and 16KB instruction). The clock speed is currently at 333MHz. ... more
The Pentium II is an x86 architecture microprocessor by Intel, introduced on May 7, 1997. It was based on a modified version of the P6 core first used for the Pentium Pro, but with improved 16-bit performance and the addition of the MMX SIMD instruction set which had already been introduced on the Pentium MMX.
