The Pentium™ II/III and Celeron™ processor is the next member of the P6 processor
family. It combines the architectural advances in the Pentium Pro processor with the in-
struction set extensions of MMX technology. It is fully compatible with the huge base of
Intel architecture-based PC software. Additional, the Pentium™ II/III processor delivers
new levels of performance for advance media and communications software including
powerful, realistic graphics and imaging capabilities, video conference, and the ability to run
full-screen, full-motion video. The combination of these advanced technologies makes the
Pentium™ II/III processor the ideal choice foe executing modem 32-bit compute-intensive
and multimedia-enhanced application work loads using advanced 32-bit operating systems.
The Pentium™ II/III and Celeron processor both have a separate, 32KB, on-chip, non-
blocking L1 cache which run at the processor frequency, Pentium™ II/III processor also has
a 512KB or 256KB on-board L2 non-blocking cache runs at half the processor speed.
The Pentium™ II/III processor using Single Edge Contact Cartridge (S.E.C.C.) and
S.E.C.C.2 packaging technology which enables high volume availability, improved handling
protection.
The Celeron™ processor using Single Edge Processor Package. ( S.E.P.P.)
Figure 2-1 shows the front, rear and top views of Pentium™ II/III processor (without heat
sink mounted).
Figure 2-2 shows the S.E.C.C.2 package of Pentium™ II/III processor.
Figure 2-3 shows the primary and non-primary side of Celeron™ processor without heat
sink mounted and with heat sink mounted.
