History of computer processor(1994-1999) part 4

1994:- Intel released the second generation of Intel Pentium processors on March 7, 1994 ,included new processors from 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 1Xeon processo66 and 200 MHz.The processors used 296-pin SPGA(A Staggered Pin Grid Array) form factor that is physically incompatible with the first generation versions.Intel's 2nd Generation Intel Core processor family is the next generation of 64-bit, multi-core processors built on 32nm process technology.

1995:-Intel introduced the Intel Pentium Pro in November 1995.This processor that utilized the i686 architecture and it contained 5.5 million transistors, had available clock speeds of 150 MHz to 200 MHz, and was the first processor to be packaged with a second die containing L2 cache.

1996:-AMD introduced the K5 processor on March 27, 1996, with speeds of 75 MHz to 133 MHz and bus speeds of 50 MHz, 60 MHz, or 66 MHz and all models had 4.3 million transistors, with five integer units that could process instructions out of order and one floating-point unit. . The K5 was the first processor developed completely in-house by AMD.

1997:-The K6 microprocessor was launched by AMD in April,1997.
