Noted hardware historian and reverse-engineer Ken Shirriff recently found the exact transistors in the original Intel Pentium which caused the "FDIV bug", leading to a $475 million recall in 1994.

Case in point an original (P54C) Intel Pentium, which [Ken Shirriff] took an in-depth look at. Using a by now almost unimaginably large 600 nm process, the individual elements of these standard ...

In the article, Dan Zhang is able to take a 1.8GHz Pentium M to 2.4GHz. It’s a pretty simple mod, but you have to go out of your way to do it since Sonoma laptops never shipped with a 400MHz FSB ...

Intel is receiving mostly positive feedback for its handling of the Sandy Bridge chipset recall, and a big reason for that may be the chip maker's past missteps in dealing with high-profile design ...

Intel's top Pentium chip, introduced in late 2000. The successor to the Pentium III, the Pentium 4 features the NetBurst micro-architecture (see NetBurst). All Pentium 4 chips are single core ...

One of Intel's first dual-core 64-bit Pentium CPUs. Introduced in 2005 along with the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840, they both share the Intel 64 64-bit technology, but the Pentium D does ...

EXO Labs has penned a detailed blog post about running Llama on Windows 98 and demonstrated a rather powerful AI large language model (LLM) running on a 26-year-old Windows 98 Pentium II PC in a ...

By comparison, the 90nm Prescott-based Pentium 4 521 was set at the same frequency and had an 84w TDP while the upcoming 65nm Core 2 Duo had a maximum TDP of 65w when clocked at 3GHz.

The most recent Atom used in laptops is from 2016 and it was hardly fast back then. Up until recently, there were separate brands for Celeron and Pentium processors. Intel has now bundled both of them ...
