INTEL CORPORATION INTRODUCES 90 AND 100 MHz PENTIUM PROCESSORS

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 7, 1994 -- Intel Corporation today introduced
new Pentium processors running at frequencies of 90 and 100 MHz. The
100-MHz version of the Pentium processor runs today's PC software faster
than any other processor available. It is 50 percent faster than the
original version announced one year ago and has an iCOMP index rating of
815 with a SPECint92 rating of 100.0.

These new Pentium processors will be manufactured in volume at Intel's most
advanced microprocessor production factories in Ireland and Santa Clara.
With the 3.3 volt, 0.6 micron, 4-layer metal advanced process technology,
the chip is approximately half the size of other members of the Pentium
processor family. This announcement comes on the heels of demonstrating a
150-MHz Pentium processor at the IEEE International Solid State Circuits
Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco approximately two weeks ago.

"These new products arrive as Pentium processor-based PC's are moving
rapidly through all channels, including retail, with aggressive price
points for today's performance-oriented applications," said Paul Otellini,
senior vice president and general manager of Intel's microprocessor
product group. "PC purchasers can now buy Intel's fastest processor for
today's and tomorrow's application at very affordable prices. This will
accelerate Pentium processors entering all market segments, including the
home, at a rate faster than any previous processor."

The New Pentium Processors

The 90-MHz version of the Pentium processor has an iCOMP index of 735 and a
SPECint92 rating of 90.0. Both the 90- and 100-MHz versions achieve
SPECint92 ratings higher than any other mass market processor selling
today or promised for delivery this year.

The new 90- and 100-MHz processors have a typical power dissipation of 4.0
watts or less. Extra features for easier system design and multiprocessing
have been added such as the Intel advanced programmable interrupt
controller (APIC), enabling dual processing systems at PC price points.

PCs and servers based on the new chips are expected to be announced within
the next 60 days from many manufacturers. Integrated SL technology will
enable Pentium processor-based notebook computers with robust power
management to be on the market later this year.

World's Fastest 486

A 100 MHz Intel DX4 processor, with an iCOMP index rating of 435, also was
announced today. A 75-MHz version is also available (iCOMP index rating of
319). The 100-MHz version has a SPECint92 rating of 51.4. The Intel DX4
processor offers up to 50 percent more performance than the Intel DX2
processor.

"The world's best performing notebooks are based on the Intel DX4
processor," said Otellini. "Mobile computer users can get the same level
of performance as desktop users without compromising battery life."

System manufacturers can use current Intel486 processor system designs with
minor modifications to benefit from the Intel DX4 processor's additional
performance. Besides the benefits of 3.3 volt design for low-power
operation, the processor is enhanced with SL technology for long battery
life notebooks and energy-efficient desktops. The Intel DX4 processor has
twice the amount of on-chip cache (16 kilobytes) as the Intel DX2
microprocessor.

PCI Local Bus

Intel also introduced the PCI chip set for local bus support for the 90-
and 100- MHz Pentium processors. The 82430NX PCIset allows system
manufacturers to build the highest performance desktop systems based on
the Pentium processor and PCI. The architecture of the 82430NX PCIset
provides options for multiple system configurations to target different
price points. The PCIset also takes advantage of the fast performance and
plug-and-play capabilities of the PCI local bus to support
high-performance graphics, networking, disk drives and multimedia.

Pricing and Availability

The new versions of the Pentium and the Intel DX4 processors are available
now. The 90-MHz version of the Pentium processor is priced at $849 each in
1,000-piece quantities. The 100-MHz version is $995 each in 1,000-piece
quantities and is available now in limited volumes and moving to high
volumes in Q4 1994. The 75-MHz Intel DX4 processor is $475 while the
100-MHz Intel DX4 processor is $580 each in 1,000-piece quantities (Q2
pricing). For pricing and availability outside the United States, contact
the regional Intel sales office.
