No to Intel nam zrobil niespodziewanke i wypuscil Pentium MMX 233MHz.
Uklad wykorzystuje 3.5x zwielokrotnienie, ktore pojawilo sie w iPMMX.
Nalezalo siem w sumie tego spodziewac, aczkolwiek wczesniejsze
doniesienia Intela zaprzeczaly jakoby mial w planach taki procesor...

PS. wyslalem ten list rano ale listserv go nie "odbil" - znaczy
wcielo po drodze... posylam wiec raz jeszcze.

News Release
INTEL INTRODUCES 11th MICROPROCESSOR
WITH MMX TECHNOLOGY
233 MHz Desktop Pentium Processor with MMX Technology Adds to
Choices
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - June. 2, 1997 -- Intel Corporation today
introduced a 233 MHz Pentium processor with MMX TM technology, a new
high performance processor for mainstream consumer PCs that run
applications designed for Intel's MMX media enhancement technology.
This is Intel's eleventh microprocessor with MMX technology to be
introduced this year, underscoring the rapid transition the company is
making to incorporate the new technology in its product lines.
Processors are available immediately, and many PC manufacturers are
introducing systems today, some bundled with a variety of software
designed using Intel's MMX technology. Software using MMX technology
delivers such features as life-like color, full-screen video and
graphics, real-time animation and manipulation of images, 3D audio and
dynamic lighting.
"Consumers now have a family of choices among mainstream desktop
systems, and a wider array of software titles using Intel's MMX
technology," said Mike Aymar, vice president, Desktop Products Group.
"Since its introduction in January, the Pentium processor with MMX
technology has gained significant momentum in the retail segment and
we'v seen great acceptance of systems and software among consumers."
Pentium processors with MMX technology for mainstream consumer PCs are
offered at 233, 200 and 166 MHz today. The three speeds are also
offered as individually boxed products for systems integrators and
value-added resellers through authorized Intel distributors. Other
Intel processors using MMX technology available today include the
highest performing Pentium II processors at 300, 266 and 233 MHz,
two choices of Pentium OverDrive processors with MMX technology
that may be used with three speeds of upgradable Pentium processor-based
systems, and 166, 150 and 133 MHz processors for notebook systems.
New hardware and software logos introduced in advertising, marketing and
promotional campaigns earlier this year have helped consumers match the
software to the hardware so that they may enjoy the best PC experience.
Systems based on the Pentium processor with MMX technology are
identified with the addition of a triangular "hat" in the upper left
corner of the well-known "Intel Inside Pentium processor" swirl and
lettering. The hardware logo is licensed to OEMs under the Intel Inside
program. The rainbow-colored "hat" with the "MMX" lettering symbolizes
the enhanced capabilities of both the computer and the software.
Technical Details
The family of Pentium processors with MMX technology is built on Intel's
enhanced 0.35 micron CMOS process technology which allows them to
deliver high performance with low power consumption. Packed with 4.5
million transistors, the Pentium processor with MMX technology includes
a doubled onchip cache size to 32KB and more efficient branch
prediction. The processor's input and output pins operate at 3.3 volts
for compatibility with today's components while its inner core operates
at 2.8 volts. The lower core voltage enables systems to operate within
efficient thermal ranges. Maximum power dissipation is 17 watts.
The Pentium processor with MMX technology delivers excellent overall
balanced performance for consumer PCs. Balanced performance includes
integer, floating point and multimedia measures. SPEC CPU95 performance
for the 233 MHz processor is 7.12
SPECint95 and 5.21 SPECfp95. It has an iCOMP Index 2.0 rating of
203.
Based on industry-standard benchmarks like CPUmark32* and
SYSmark32*/Win95, users will see more than 20 percent performance boost
on today's applications when compared to a Pentium processor running at
200 MHz. With the addition of MMX technology-enabled software, users
will experience even more performance and quality improvements,
depending on the type of application and the extent to which the
software developer incorporates the new instructions. On Intel's Media
Benchmark the Pentium processor with MMX technology delivers more than
60 percent performance improvement when compared with an equivalent
speed Pentium processor. This benchmark, which measures performance on
media-rich applications, consists of audio, video, imaging and 3D
geometry components
Boxed processors for desktop systems are packaged with a fan heatsink,
CD sampler with software developed for MMX technology, installation
manual, certificate of authenticity, and an Intel Inside=AE program
label.
Pricing
In 1,000-unit quantities, the 233-MHz Pentium processor with MMX
technology in ceramic or plastic pin grid array (PPGA) packages is
priced at $594. Pricing and availability of boxed processors may be
obtained from authorized Intel distributors.
Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer
of personal computer, networking, and communications products.

technology is also available at Intel's site on the World Wide Web at
