ONCLUSION
The new Deschutes Pentium II and Pentium II Xeon processors, scheduled to announce in mid-
1998, are an extension of the Pentium II family, and keep the same IA32 architecture used in
previous Pentium II processors.
However, both processors, and especially the Pentium II Xeon
processor, will have speed, cache, and other enhancements that will boost their performance well
past performance levels previously available from Pentium Pro or older Pentium II processors.
In
fact, four-processor Pentium II Xeon SMP servers are projected to outperform 8P Pentium Pro
servers.
The Deschutes Pentium II processor will be deployed in workstations and mainstream
servers starting in 2Q 1998.
The Pentium II Xeon will replace the Pentium Pro processor as the
workhorse processor for high-end systems beginning in mid-1998.
