Intel's Next-Generation Processor Receives Formal Name For Upcoming Q4
Introduction

Pentium Pro Processor Builds on Equity in Pentium Brand

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. -- Sept. 19, 1995 -- Intel Corporation today announced
that "Pentium Pro processor" is the name for its next- generation
microprocessor, previously code-named P6. The 5.5 million transistor
device will be introduced in the fourth quarter of this calendar year, and
will be targeted at workstation and high-end desktop systems, as well as
cost-effective servers. The Pentium Pro processor will deliver the highest
level of performance on 32-bit software for the Intel architecture.

"By naming the next-generation processor 'Pentium Pro,' we are building on
the equity in the Pentium name while signifying that this is something
beyond the original," explained G. Carl Everett, senior vice president,
Desktop Products Group at Intel. "Among target market segments, the
Pentium brand has an awareness level as high as 95 percent, according to
our research. We believe the next-generation processor will benefit
immensely from this association as we introduce it into the marketplace."

The Pentium Pro processor is the first product of a parallel engineering
effort undertaken by Intel in the early 1990s. Its unique Dynamic
Execution engine was conceived when today's Pentium processor was still a
software simulation. The compressed design cycles of new generations of
chips have resulted in the delivery of some of the most powerful, low-cost
microprocessors for a widening spectrum of uses. For example, Intel was
recently selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to build a
9,000-processor computer based on the Pentium Pro processor that will
deliver 10 times the performance of today's fastest supercomputers.

Coming soon, those visiting Intel's web site will have the opportunity to
create a 3D image rendered on a Pentium Pro processor-based web server
located in Oregon. For more information on the availability of the
rendering machine, please subscribe to Intel's Pentium Pro processor

Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of
personal computer, networking and communications products.
