Building on the broad and rapid market adoption of Pentium II
processor-based mobile PCs, Intel Corporation introduced its highest
performance mobile Pentium II processor. The new mobile Pentium II processor
300 MHz offers mobile PC users a performance boost while preserving system
battery life.
As part of Intel's strategy to deliver specific products for different
market segments, mobile Pentium II processors are designed to address the
unique physical size and thermal and power consumption requirements of mobile
PCs.
Additionally, the mobile Pentium II processor 300 MHz is based on the
same P6 microarchitecture, packaging and thermal specifications as the 233-
and 266-MHz mobile Pentium II processors introduced in April 1998.
Therefore, Intel's newest mobile processor requires no new system design
engineering for PC makers to incorporate it into new mobile systems.
The mobile Pentium II processor 300 MHz represents a new high-watermark in
the performance capabilities of Intel's family of mobile Pentium II
processors. Based on the industry standard benchmark Winbench98 CPU32, the
mobile Pentium II processor 300 MHz posts a nine percent integer performance
improvement over the Pentium II processor 266 MHz. The 300-MHz mobile
Pentium II processor also posts a 12 percent improvement using Norton
Multimedia, a six percent improvement on Winstone98 and a 12 percent
improvement on Winbench98 FPU
The mobile Pentium II processor 300 MHz, manufactured on Intel's advanced
0.25 Micron process technology, includes performance enhancing features such
as Dual Independent Bus architecture, Dynamic Execution, Intel MMX
technology and a closely coupled 512-KB Level 2 cache. The mobile Pentium II
processor system bus operates at 66 MHz. To address the unique thermal
requirements of mobile PCs, the new mobile Pentium II processor contains
built-in power management features that help to manage power consumption and
improve reliability.
