尽管Pentium Ⅱ芯片发布仅几个月,但是Intel公司的计划表明,该处理器芯片在服务器、台式机和笔记本电脑系统中还将有一个很长的生命周期。 8月上旬,Intel公司向外界透露了一点有关其Deschutes处理器的计划,它是Intel公司基于0.25微米工艺技术制造的Pentium Ⅱ处理器产品线的代号。据Intel公司的官员称,当Intel公司计划于明年早些时候发布一款用于台式机的333MHz Pentium Ⅱ芯片时,Pentium Ⅱ芯片开始进入一个新的发展阶段。1998年第一季度,Intel公司将发布一款350MHz或400MHzPentium Ⅱ芯片,该芯片可支持100MHz系统总线以及现在的66MHz总线。更快速的总线对于系统性能来说是至关重要的。今天,当一个高速的处理器通过慢速的66MHz总线与系统其它部件通讯时,就会出现一个性能瓶颈。新的Pentium Ⅱ芯片安装在基于Slot 1架构的盒式结构中,其目标将针对主流台式机、入门级的服务器和工
Although the Pentium II chip was released only a few months ago, Intel’s plan shows that the processor chip will have a long life cycle in server, desktop and notebook systems. In early August, Intel revealed to the world a little bit about its Deschutes processor, a symbol of Intel Corp.’s Pentium II processor line based on 0.25-micron process technology. According to Intel officials, the Pentium II chip is beginning to enter a new phase of development when Intel plans to release a 333MHz Pentium II chip for desktops early next year. The first quarter of 1998, Intel Corporation will release a 350MHz or 400MHzPentium Ⅱ chip, the chip can support 100MHz system bus and the current 66MHz bus. Faster buses are crucial to system performance. Today, a performance bottleneck occurs when a high-speed processor communicates with the rest of the system through a slow 66MHz bus. The new Pentium II chip is housed in a slotted architecture based on the Slot 1 architecture with the goal of targeting mainstream desktops, entry-level servers and workers
