The “x3 circuit”, a nontrivial portion of the Pentium processor, is dedicated to multiplying a number by exactly three and contains more transistors than an entire Z80 microprocessor.

Gateway, Compaq and other are eyeing Intel's relatively inexpensive and powerful Pentium 4 desktop chip as an alternative to the more expensive mobile-specific chips.

The Pentium chip was released in 1993 and served as Intel's flagship CPU for almost a decade before the Intel Core line of chips took its place. Since then, Pentium chips have been primarily found ...

Remember, if you can, those heady days of the mid-1950s, and a small plastic box that changed the world. Mine was red, with a clear plastic dial and a cheesy name like “Super De-Luxe Transistor ...

Intel is preparing a July launch for its 1.1GHz Pentium III chip. The chipmaker released to its PC maker partners, last week, the launch date for the new desktop chip. Those PC makers will be able ...

The first Celeron chip in 1998 was based on a Pentium II processor, and the latest Celeron processors are largely used in Chromebooks and low-cost laptops.

Intel will upgrade its flagship PC chip in the beginning of the year, but it will keep the current name. "Prescott," the code name for an optimized version of the Pentium 4, will continue to be ...
