"Klamath" (350 nm)
- All models support: MMX
- L2 cache is off-die and runs at 50% CPU speed
- Part numbers prefixed with a B are for boxed retail CPUs
"Deschutes" (250 nm)
- All models support: MMX
- L2 cache is off-die and runs at 50% CPU speed
- The Pentium II Overdrive is a Deschutes Pentium II core packaged for Socket 8Socket 8The Socket 8 CPU socket was used exclusively with the Intel Pentium Pro and Pentium II Overdrive computer processors. Intel discontinued Socket 8 in favor of Slot 1 with the introduction of the Pentium II.-Technical specifications:...
