Am I right that the first cpu to have L1. and L2. on the cpu cjip was the Pentume 2.???
cpu help
- Thread starter robertbiferi
- Start date
As far as I can remember the Pentium Pro was the first to have L2 on the processor.
Nope, the MMX only had L1 cache. I still have a 233MHZ. one

OK but is the Pentume Pro the first Pentume or was the first Pentume just called Pentume

Nothing anymore. I've still got boxes and drawers full of old stuff
Pentium Pro was more or less a server processor on socket 8.
The original pentium (P5) had two or three upgrades. The MMX was a P55C

So if I got this right
The first Pentume had L1. on the chip and was socket 7.
The Pentume Pro had L1. and L2. bot on the chip and was socked 8.
RIGHT

Pentium, not "Pentume"
Right, the first on was Socket 4, then jumped to 5 and 7. AMD kept using socket 7 and came out with what they called Super 7. Nothing but a 100MHZ FSB socket 7.

Pentium I (P5 series) used Socket 4 and 5 and 7. Pentium Pro used Socket 8.

It's on the same chip, but it's not actually a part of the silicon (or any other semiconductor material) the CPU is made of.
Not talking about Intel, But I (believe) AMD K6-III was the first processor to have on die L2. Released in Feb. 1999. Intel Pentium II still had off die L2 just like the Pentium Pro. Think the first Intel processor with on die L2 was the Pentium III Coppermine. Released in Oct. 1999.
