Intel Introduces 15 New Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon Processors

Intel Introduces 15 New Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon Processors hit the hardware desk today, aimed at PC users who still think specs, slots, drivers and bundled software are half the fun.

The useful part: All of the processors are available now in volume. Today’s launch is the broadest in company history and establishes Intel’s highest levels of performance for desktop, mobile, server and workstation computing. The new processors feature an Advanced Transfer Cache that delivers a performance boost of up to 25 percent when compared to earlier Pentium III processors running at the same clock speed. New packaging options enable a wide choice of system configurations including ultra-thin and light mobile PCs and small form factor desktop PCs. File it under the usual 1999 PC pile: interesting, crowded, and probably fighting five other releases for attention.
