Intel OverDrive® processors are
a family of processor upgrades designed for upgradable Intel486™ and Pentium®
processor-based systems. With an OverDrive processor,
applications used every day--word processing, spreadsheets,
desktop publishing, video and games--run faster. OverDrive
processors also allow for worry-free processor upgradability and
are backed by the proven quality of Intel manufacturing.
Pentium OverDrive Processors are now available for upgradable Pentium processor-based PCs.
The ultimate PC upgrade:
Accelerate all
PC applications
Affordable
Easy
installation
Pentium OverDrive processors help users improve the performance of virtually all PC software applications as well as increase their ability to harness the resources of the Internet.
Like the Pentium processor, the Pentium OverDrive
processor features:
Advanced (.35
micron) Pentium processor technology
Superscalar
architecture
64-bit data bus
Branch
prediction
High-performance
floating point unit
16K on
chip-cache
In addition, the Pentium OverDrive processor features
worry-free processor upgradability:
Pre-configured
bus-to-core speed ratios for ease of installation
Integrated
on-package fan heatsink
Voltage
filtering (on-package capacitance)
Specifications
created and tested to support the installed base
On-package
voltage regulation and compatible pin-out (for the 120/133-MHz
Pentium OverDrive processor)
There are two types of OverDrive® processors to choose from for upgradable Intel486™ CPU-based PCs.
Pentium®
OverDrive processor:
Most Intel486 PC users can upgrade to Pentium®
processor technology with the Pentium OverDrive processor.
This upgrade features:
Pentium
processor superscalar architecture
32KB enhanced
on-chip cache memory
Super-fast math
coprocessor
Integrated fan
The Pentium OverDrive processor is the recommended upgrade option for upgradable IntelSX2™ , IntelDX2™ CPU-based PCs. In addition, it will also support upgradable Intel486 SX and DX CPU-based PCs with 237- or 238-pin sockets. Two versions of the Pentium OverDrive processors are available: the 63-MHz Pentium OverDrive processors for 25/50-MHz systems and the 83-MHz Pentium OverDrive processors for 33/66-MHz systems.
IntelDX4™
OverDrive Processors
For those unable to upgrade with the Pentium OverDrive processor,
the IntelDX4™ is the
recommended option for upgradable Intel486 CPU-based PCs.
This upgrade features:
Intel's
speed-tripling technology
On-chip math
coprocessor
Enhanced 16K
cache
Heatsink
On-package
voltage regulation
Two versions of the IntelDX4 OverDrive processor are available for Intel486 SX and DX processor-based systems: the 75-MHz IntelDX4 OverDrive processors for 20/25-MHz systems and the 100-MHz IntelDX4 OverDrive processors for 33-MHz systems.
The IntelDX4™ and IntelDX2™ OverDrive® processors -- discontinuation notification.
For
20-MHz i486 SX CPU-based systems only.
For IntelSX2 and
IntelDX2 CPU-based systems only.
For IntelDX2
CPU-based systems only.
Requires larger
socket (237- or 238-pins). Pentium processor technology is more
powerful than i486 processors at equal clock speeds.
Coming soon, the Pentium® OverDrive® processor with MMX™ technology ! Enhance your PC experience with vivid colors, exciting sound and powerful video clips. Experience media-rich applications by upgrading to the highest level of processor performance.
