The similarly named IBM 486DLC, 486DLC2, 486DLC3 ( aka Blue Lightning ) are often confused with the Cyrix chips, but are not related and instead based on Intel's i486 design.

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

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.

It launched with superior performance over all other x86 processors available at the time, including Intel's flagship Pentium III, in every benchmark.

* Windows XP 64-bit Edition, is a version for Intel's Itanium line of processors ; maintains 32-bit compatibility solely through a software emulator.

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.

The 8086 gave rise to the x86 architecture of Intel's future processors.

AMD introduced its compatible Am386 processor in March 1991 after overcoming legal obstacles, thus ending Intel's monopoly on 386-compatible processors.

Implementation using Intel's Threading Building Blocks ( TBB ) and Microsoft's Parallel Pattern Library ( PPL ) to run on multi-core processors is shown to perform well in practice.

Sun products included computer servers and workstations built on its own RISC-based SPARC processor architecture as well as on x86 based AMD's Opteron and Intel's Xeon processors ; storage systems ; and a suite of software products including the Solaris operating system, developer tools, Web infrastructure software, and identity management applications.

* Intel's Core 2 Duo processors.

TPMs are already integrated in many systems using Intel's Core 2 Duo processors or AMD's Athlon 64 processors using the AM2 socket.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, when the 68000 was widely used in desktop computers, it mainly competed against Intel's x86 architecture, which to this day — other than a small minority of Transmeta VLIW processors — remains the only architecture used in IBM Compatible PCs.

* 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.

* Intel's " Sonoma " series processors.

Several of Intel's processors were given names from towns, cities or places in Sonoma County when Intel's CEO was Les Vadasz.

Experience with the i860 influenced the MMX functionality later added to Intel's Pentium processors.

The PXA250 was Intel's first generation of XScale processors.

Since Intel's Pentium has ( as do several other processors ) a 64-bit bus width, it requires SIMMs installed in matched pairs in order to complete the data bus.

Both firms talk with one another's competitors from time to time, most notably with Microsoft's close relationship with AMD and the development of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition utilizing AMD-designed 64-bit extensions to the x86 architecture, and Intel's decision to sell its processors to Apple Inc.

Increasing processor power consumption led ultimately to Intel's May 2004 cancellation of its Tejas and Jayhawk processors, which is generally cited as the end of frequency scaling as the dominant computer architecture paradigm.

Hyper-threading ( officially Hyper-Threading Technology or HT Technology, abbreviated HTT or HT ) is Intel's term for its simultaneous multithreading implementation first appearing in February 2002 on its Xeon server processors and in November 2002 on its Pentium 4 desktop CPUs.

Previous generations of Intel's processors based on the Core microarchitecture do not have Hyper-Threading, because the Core microarchitecture is a descendant of the P6 microarchitecture used in iterations of Pentium since the Pentium Pro through the Pentium III and the Celeron ( Covington, Mendocino, Coppermine and Tualatin-based ) and the Pentium II Xeon and Pentium III Xeon models.

Subsequently, it was the Pentium M microarchitecture of Pentium M branded CPUs, and not the NetBurst found in Pentium 4 processors, that formed the basis for Intel's energy-efficient Core microarchitecture of CPUs branded Core 2, Pentium Dual-Core, Celeron ( Core ), and Xeon.

Some notable modern examples are Intel's SSE and the PowerPC-related AltiVec ( also known as VMX ).

Intel's and Marvell's XScale microprocessor core starting with PXA270 include an SIMD instruction set extension to the ARM core called iwMMXt whose functions are similar to those of the IA-32 MMX extension.

With better performance in most applications than an Intel Pentium processor at 75 MHz, the Cyrix Cx5x86 filled a gap by providing a medium-performance processor option for 486 Socket 3 motherboards ( which are incapable of handling Intel's Pentium CPUs, apart from the Pentium Overdrive ).

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.

Intel's dual-core Celeron, Pentium, and i3 CPUs generally have a TDP of 65W, while the i5 and i7 are generally 77W ( in the newest variant, Ivy Bridge ) or 95W ( older versions, such as Sandy Bridge ).

* Intel often names CPU projects after rivers in the American West, particularly in the state of Oregon ( where most of Intel's CPU projects are designed ).

However, modern integrated graphics processors such as AMD's Fusion IGPs and Intel's HD Graphics are more than capable of handling 2D graphics from Adobe Flash or low stress 3D graphics, but struggle with the latest games like Battlefield 3.

Most of the state of the art branch predictors are using a perceptron predictor ( see Intel's " Championship Branch Prediction Competition " ).

Due to the push for System-on-a-chip ( SoC ) processors, modern devices increasingly have the northbridge integrated into the CPU die itself ; examples are Intel's Sandy Bridge and AMD's Fusion processors ( both released in 2011 ).

For x86 virtualization the current choices are Intel's Extended Page Table feature and AMD's Rapid Virtualization Indexing feature.

The SCxxxx range of Geode devices are a single-chip version, comparable to the SiS 552, VIA CoreFusion or Intel's Tolapai, which integrate the CPU, memory controller, graphics and I / O devices into one package.

Descendants of the compiler were still in wide use 20 years after it first started generating correct code ( notably, Intel's icc " Proton " compiler and the NEC Earth Simulator compiler ), and are often used as benchmark targets for new compiler development.

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.

They are perhaps most well known for their " Mobile on Desktop " ( MoDT ) solutions, which implements Intel's Pentium M platform on desktop motherboards.

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.

* In the vicinity are Intel's Ronler Acres facility and Hillsboro Stadium.

Intel's website specifically states that such drivers must come from the computer manufacturer ; there are no generic drivers supplied by Intel which will enable SpeedStep for older Windows versions if one cannot obtain a manufacturer's driver.
