Pentiumis a discontinued series ofx86architecture-compatiblemicroprocessorsproduced byIntel.Theoriginal Pentiumwas first released on March 22, 1993. The name "Pentium" is originally derived from theGreekwordpente(πεντε), meaning "five", a reference to the prior numeric naming convention of Intel's 80x86 processors (8086–80486), with theLatinending-iumsince the processor would otherwise have been named 80586 using that convention.
Pentium was Intel's flagship processor line for over a decade until the introduction of theIntel Coreline in 2006. Pentium-branded processors released from 2009 to 2023 were considered entry-level products that Intel rated as "two stars",[2][3]meaning that they were above the low-endAtomandCeleronseries, but below the fasterIntel Corelineup and workstation/serverXeonseries. These later Pentium processors have little more than their name in common with earlier Pentiums.
The later Pentiums were based on both the architecture used inAtomand that of Core processors. In the case of Atom architectures, Pentiums were the highest performance implementations of the architecture. Pentium processors with Core architectures prior to 2017 were distinguished from the faster, higher-end i-series processors by lowerclock ratesand disabling some features, such ashyper-threading,virtualizationand sometimes L3cache.
In 2017, the Pentium brand was split up into two separate lines using the Pentium name:
- Pentium Silver, aiming for low-power devices using the Atom & Celeron architectures.
- Pentium Gold, aiming for entry-level desktop and using existing architectures such asKaby LakeorCoffee Lake.
In September 2022, Intel announced that the Pentium and Celeron brands were to be replaced with the new "Intel Processor" branding for low-end processors in laptops from 2023 onwards.[1]This applied to desktops using Pentium processors as well, and was discontinued around the same time laptops stopped using Pentium processors in favor of "Intel Processor" processors in 2023.
Overview
[edit]During development, Intel generally identifies processors withcodenames,such asPrescott,Willamette,Coppermine,Katmai,Klamath,orDeschutes.These usually become widely known, even after the processors are given official names on launch.[4]
The original Pentium-branded CPUs were expected to be named 586 or i586, to follow the naming convention of prior generations (286,i386,i486). However, as the firm wanted to prevent their competitors from branding their processors with similar names (as AMD had done with theirAm486), Intel filed atrademarkapplication on the name in the United States, but was denied because a series of numbers was considered to lacktrademark distinctiveness.[5]
Following Intel's prior series of8086,80186,80286,80386,and80486microprocessors, the firm's first P5-based processor was released as theoriginal Intel Pentiumon March 22, 1993. Marketing firmLexicon Brandingwas hired to coin a name for the new processor. The suffix-iumwas chosen as it could connote a fundamental ingredient of a computer, like achemical element,[6]while the prefixpent-could refer to the fifth generation of x86.[5]
Due to its success, the Pentium brand would continue through several generations of high-end processors. In 2006, the name briefly disappeared from Intel'stechnology roadmaps,[7][8]only to re-emerge in 2007.[9]
In 1998, Intel introduced theCeleron[10]brand for low-priced processors. With the 2006 introduction of theIntel Corebrand as the company's new flagship line of processors, the Pentium series was to be discontinued. However, due to a demand for mid-range dual-core processors, the Pentium brand was repurposed to be Intel's mid-range processor series, between the Celeron and Core series, continuing with thePentium Dual-Coreline.[11][12][13]
In 2009, the "Dual-Core" suffix was dropped, and new x86 processors started carrying the plainPentiumname again.
In 2014, Intel released thePentium 20th Anniversary Edition,to mark the 20th anniversary of the Pentium brand. These processors are unlocked and highly overclockable.
In 2017, Intel split the Pentium branding into two line-ups. Pentium Silver targets low-power devices and shares architecture with Atom and Celeron, while Pentium Gold targets entry-level desktops and uses existing architecture, such asKaby LakeandCoffee Lake.
In September 2022, Intel announced that the Pentium and Celeron brands were to be replaced with the new "Intel Processor" branding for low-end processors in laptops from 2023 onwards.[1]This applied to desktops using Pentium and Celeron processors as well, and both brands were discontinued in 2023 in favor of "Intel Processor" branded processors.

In parallel with the P5 microarchitecture, Intel developed theP6 microarchitectureand started marketing it as thePentium Profor the high-end market in 1995. It introducedout-of-order executionand an integrated second-levelcacheon dual-chip processor package. The second P6 generation replaced the original P5 with thePentium IIand rebranded the high-end version asPentium II Xeon.It was followed by a third version named thePentium IIIandPentium III Xeonrespectively. The Pentium II line added theMMXinstructions that were also present in the Pentium MMX.
Versions of these processors for the laptop market were initially namedMobile Pentium IIandMobile Pentium III,later versions were namedPentium III-M.Starting with the Pentium II, theCeleronbrand was used for low-end versions of most Pentium processors with a reduced feature set such as a smaller cache or missing power management features.

[edit]In 2000, Intel introduced a new microarchitecture namedNetBurst,with a much longer pipeline enabling higher clock frequencies than the P6-based processors. Initially, these were namedPentium 4,and the high-end versions have since been named simplyXeon.As with Pentium III, there are bothMobile Pentium 4andPentium 4 Mprocessors for the laptop market, with Pentium 4 M denoting the more power-efficient versions. Enthusiast versions of the Pentium 4 with the highestclock rateswere namedPentium 4 Extreme Edition.
ThePentium Dwas the firstmulti-corePentium, integrating two Pentium 4 chips in one package and was available as the enthusiastPentium Extreme Edition.

Pentium M microarchitecture based
[edit]In 2003, Intel introduced a new processor based on the P6 microarchitecture namedPentium M,which was much more power-efficient than the Mobile Pentium 4, Pentium 4 M, and Pentium III M. Dual-core versions of the Pentium M were developed under the code nameYonahand sold under the marketing namesCore DuoandPentium Dual-Core.Unlike Pentium D, it integrated both cores on one chip. From this point, theIntel Corebrand name was used for the mainstream Intel processors, and the Pentium brand became a low-end version between Celeron and Core. All Pentium M based designs including Yonah are for the mobile market.

[edit]ThePentium Dual-Corename continued to be used when the Yonah design was extended with 64-bit support, now named theCore microarchitecture.This eventually replaced all NetBurst-based processors across the four brands Celeron, Pentium, Core, and Xeon. Pentium Dual-Core processors based on the Core microarchitecture use theAllendaleandWolfdale-3M designs for desktop processors andMerom-2M for mobile processors.

In 2009, Intel changed the naming system for Pentium processors, renaming the Wolfdale-3M based processors toPentium,without the Dual-Core name, and introduced new single- and dual-core processors based onPenrynunder the Pentium name.
The Penryn core is the successor to the Merom core and Intel's 45 nm version of their mobile series of Pentium processors. The FSB frequency is increased from 667 MHz to 800 MHz, and the voltage is lowered. Intel released the first Penryn Core, the Pentium T4200, in December 2008. In June 2009, Intel released the first single-core processor to use the Pentium name, aConsumer Ultra-Low Voltage(CULV) Penryn core named Pentium SU2700.
In September 2009, Intel introduced the Pentium SU4000 series together with the Celeron SU2000 and Core 2 Duo SU7000 series, which are dual-core CULV processors based on Penryn-3M and using 800 MHz FSB. The Pentium SU4000 series has 2 MB L2 cache but is otherwise basically identical to the other two lines.
Nehalem microarchitecture based
[edit]TheNehalemmicroarchitecture was introduced in late 2008 as a successor to the Core microarchitecture, and in early 2010, a newPentiumG6950 processor based on theClarkdaledesign was introduced based on theWestmererefresh of Nehalem, which were followed by the mobile P6xxx based onArrandalea few months later.

On January 7, 2010, Intel launched a new Pentium model using the Clarkdale chip in parallel with other desktop and mobile CPUs based on their new Westmere microarchitecture. The first model in this series is the Pentium G6950. The Clarkdale chip is also used in the Core i3-5xx and Core i5-6xx series and features a 32 nm process (as it is based on the Westmere microarchitecture), integrated memory controller and 45 nm graphics controller and a third-level cache. In the Pentium series, some features of Clarkdale are disabled, includingAES-NI,hyper-threading(versus Core i3), and the graphics controller in the Pentium runs at 533 MHz, while in the Core i3 i3-5xx series they run at 733 MHz, and Dual Video Decode that enables Blu-ray picture-in picture hardware acceleration, and support for Deep Color andxvYCC.[citation needed]The memory controller in the Pentium supports DDR3-1066 max, the same as the Core i3 i3-5xx series.[15]The L3 cache is also 1 MB less than in the Core i3-5xx series.

[edit]All Comet Lake Pentium processors supportHyper-threading,and integratedIntel UHD 610 Graphics.
Pentium-compatible Intel processors
[edit]Due to its prominence, the term "Pentium-compatible"is often used to describe any x86 processor that supports theIA-32instruction set and architecture. Even though they do not use the Pentium name, Intel also manufactures other processors based on the Pentium series for other markets. Most of these processors share the core design with one of the Pentium processor lines, usually differing in the amount ofCPU cache,power efficiency or other features. The notable exception is the Atom line, which is an independent design.
- Celeron,a low-end version
- Core,the mainstream version including Core 2, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9, now placed above Pentium
- Xeon,a high-end version used in servers and workstations
- A100(discontinued), an ultra-mobile version of Pentium M, succeeded byIntel Atom
- EP80579,a system-on-a-chip based on Pentium M
- Xeon Phi,a high-end version used in servers and workstations
- Intel Quark,a now-discontinued, low-power reimplementation of the Pentium architecture for use as microcontroller and in other embedded applications
