Abstract

This Intel architecture microprocessor (Pentium III) implements 70 additional instructions to further accelerate the performance of data-streaming applications including 3D graphics and video encode/decode. This processor is enhanced by addition of these instructions along with circuit improvements for higher clock frequency. The 10.17/spl times/12.10 mm/sup 2/ die contains 9.5 M transistors and is in a CMOS 5-layer metal 0.25 /spl mu/ process in an OLGA package with C4 interconnect technology. It has an operating range of 1.4 V to 2.2 V and is currently running up to 60O MHz.
