200MHz. Regarding its cache passes from 8KB to 16KB for instruction and
data memory. The Pentium Pro is an improved version planned for use in
high gamma computers but eventually centered in network application’s
servers and workstations.
The PowerPC 601 processor shown in Fig. 2.3, is a processor developed
in conjunction by Motorola Semiconductor (now Freescale) and IBM, in
order to compete with Intel processors. The PowerPC 601 processor has a
64-bit architecture, it is based on a reduced instruction set computing (RISC),
it supports fl oating-point data types of 32 and 64 bits and it is optimized ...
