Microprocessor The Pentium microprocessors used in the HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 3 and HP Vectra VE 5/xx are the latest generation of the Intel family of microprocessors. These microprocessors use internal clock multiplication, similar to that used by the 486 DX2 processor. The microprocessor's internal clock is a multiple of the system clock. The Pentium 75, 90, and 100 MHz processor multiply the 50, 60, and 66 MHz system clock by a factor of 1.5. The Pentium 120 MHz processor doubles the 60 MHz system clock. These new Pentium processors are powered by a power source of 3.3 V (see Configuring the Processor Voltage Selection Jumper). The previous generation of Pentium processors, Pentium 60 MHz and 66 MHz, used a 5 V power source. The two generations of processors are not pin compatible.
