Summary
About the Intel Pentium II Xeon (450 MHz, 512 KB) CPU
The Intel Pentium II Xeon (450 MHz, 512 KB) is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q4 1998 with a suggested retail price of $824. It is part of Intel's Pentium II Xeon lineup, which is based on the Drake microarchitecture. The Pentium II Xeon is compatible with Intel Slot 2 motherboards.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Pentium II Xeon has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 32 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Pentium II Xeon is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 450.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Pentium II Xeon does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
About the Intel Pentium III Xeon (866 MHz) CPU
The Intel Pentium III Xeon (866 MHz) is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2000 with a suggested retail price of $826. It is part of Intel's Pentium III Xeon lineup, which is based on the Cascades microarchitecture. The III is compatible with Intel Slot 2 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 180 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
In terms of cache, the Pentium III Xeon has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 32 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Pentium III Xeon is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 866.0 MHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Pentium III Xeon does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
