The original Athlon ( now called Athlon Classic ) was the first seventh-generation x86 processor and, in a first, retained the initial performance lead it had over Intel's competing processors for a significant period of time.

Intel's original 50mhz 486 processor faced difficulty in the market as many existing motherboards ( even non-VLB designs ) did not cope well with the increase in front side bus speed to 50mhz.

* Rockwell, the original name for Intel's microarchitecture that is due to be out in 2014 ( now called Broadwell )

The original Intel 8086 ( Intel's first 16-bit microprocessor ) was an exception to this rule which implemented a segmented memory model, because it provided an easy form of memory management with flexible page boundaries for early operating systems such as DOS and allowed access to an address space greater than what would otherwise be available with its 16-bit addressing.

A similar phenomenon has developed in Intel's x86 assembly language – because of the support for various sizes ( and backward compatibility ) in the instruction set, some instruction mnemonics carry " d " or " q " identifiers denoting " double -", " quad -" or " double-quad -", which are in terms of the architecture's original 16-bit word size.

While its original version was related to Intel's DVI video stream format, a hardware-only codec for the compression of television-quality video onto compact discs, Indeo was distinguished by being one of the first codecs allowing full-speed video playback without using hardware acceleration.

The most common variants are LH 2. 2, which uses an Intel 8049 ( MCS-48 ) microcontroller, and usually a 4 kB programme memory, and LH 2. 4, which uses a Siemens 80535 microcontroller ( a variant of Intel's 8051 / MCS-51 architecture ) and 32 kB programme memory based on the 27C256 chip.

The architecture of the 8080 strongly influenced Intel's 8086 CPU architecture, which spawned the x86 family of processors, by far the most popular design in use today.

Following MMX, Intel's next major x86 extension was the SSE, introduced with the Pentium-III family ( roughly a year after AMD's 3DNow!

The 8048 is probably the most prominent member of Intel's MCS-48 family of microcontrollers.

* High performance CPUs: while RISC in its early days ( early 1980s ) offered roughly an order-of-magnitude performance improvement over CISC processors of comparable cost, one particular family of CISC processors, Intel's x86, always had the edge in market share and the economies of scale that this implied.

In 1990, NCR introduced the System 3000, a seven-level family of computers based on Intel's 386 and 486 CPUs.

Had he followed Intel's number sequence, the idea that the chips were part of a family of components intended to work seamlessly together would have been lost. Intel's early numbering scheme for integrated circuits used a four-digit number for each component.

One model only was completed, the 1995 Cyrix M1 microprocessor, which was intended to compete with Intel's Pentium family.

In Intel's " Family / Model / Stepping " scheme, the Pentium Pro is family 6, model 1, and its Intel Product code is 80521.

In Intel's " Family / Model / Stepping " scheme, the Pentium II OverDrive CPU is family 6, model 3.

x86 assembly language is a family of backward-compatible assembly languages, which provide some level of compatibility all the way back to the Intel 8008. x86 assembly languages are used to produce object code for the x86 class of processors, which includes Intel's Core series and AMD's Phenom and Phenom II series.

By the time the 450 and the 500 were mainstream parts, the K6-2 family had already moved to the budget PC segment, where it still competed successfully against Intel's Celeron.

In 1970 he joined Intel where Marcian ( Ted ) Hoff, with Stanley Mazor and Intel's customer Masatoshi Shima, had formulated a new architecture for a family of Busicom calculators in 1969.

Tukwila is the code-name for the generation of Intel's Itanium processor family following Itanium 2 and Montecito.

The chips primarily competed against Intel's 8-bit family of chips ( such as the 8080, or their relations, the ZiLOG Z80 range ).

The 8259 was introduced as part of Intel's MCS 85 family in 1976.

Intel's i740 was explicitly designed to exploit the new AGP feature set.

This means that at 100 MHz, the Athlon front side bus actually transfers at a rate similar to a 200 MHz single data rate bus ( referred to as 200 MT / s ), which was superior to the method used on Intel's Pentium III ( with SDR bus speeds of 100 MHz and 133 MHz ).

" and was similar to Intel's SpeedStep power saving technique.

When Compaq introduced the first PC based on Intel's new 80386 microprocessor, the Compaq Deskpro 386, in 1986, it marked the first CPU change to the PC platform that was not initiated by IBM.

IA-32 ( Intel Architecture, 32-bit ), also known as x86-32, i386 or x86, is the CISC instruction-set architecture of Intel's most commercially successful microprocessors, and was first implemented in the Intel 80386 as a 32-bit extension of x86 architecture.

This was followed by HMOS-II, HMOS-III versions, and, eventually, a fully static CMOS version for battery-powered devices, manufactured using Intel's CHMOS processes.

Variants of the 8088 with more than 5 MHz maximum clock frequency include the 8088-2, which was fabricated using Intel's new enhanced nMOS process called HMOS and specified for a maximum frequency of 8 MHz.

The 386 was for a time only available from Intel, since Andy Grove, Intel's CEO at the time, made the decision not to encourage other manufacturers to produce the processor as second sources.

This decision was ultimately crucial to Intel's success in the market.

Intel's i486SX was a modified Intel 486DX microprocessor with its floating-point unit ( FPU ) disconnected.

It was also made pin-compatible with Intel's Pentium, enabling it to be used in the widely available " Socket 7 "- based motherboards.

With the buyout of NexGen, AMD was able to come back into the game with a processor that could perform competitively with Intel's Pentium II.

At that time Intel's President, Luke J. Valenter, stated that the microcontroller was one of the most successful in the company's history, and expanded the division's budget over 25 %.

The operating system was ported to Intel's architecture because of a change in NeXT's business strategy.

Although encountering the flaw was extremely rare in practice ( Byte magazine estimated that 1 in 9 billion floating point divides with random parameters would produce inaccurate results ),< ref > both the flaw and Intel's initial handling of the matter were heavily criticized.

Its microarchitecture, deemed P5, was Intel's fifth-generation and first superscalar x86 microarchitecture.

The Pentium was Intel's primary microprocessor for personal computers during the mid-1990s.

The P55C ( or 80503 ) was developed by Intel's Research & Development Center in Haifa, Israel.

VLB importantly offered an affordable high speed interface for consumer systems, as only by 1996 was PCI commonly available outside of the server market via the Pentium and Intel's Triton chipset.

The 8086 was introduced during 1978 as a fully 16-bit extension of Intel's 8-bit based 8080 microprocessor and also introduced memory segmentation to overcome the 16-bit addressing barrier of such designs.

The first widely-deployed desktop SIMD was with Intel's MMX extensions to the x86 architecture in 1996.

Since an initialism cannot be trademarked, this was an attempt to invalidate Intel's trademark.

Intel's first IA-32 SIMD effort was the MMX instruction set.
