Abstract
The Intel Pentium processor is the next generation high-performance processor, fully compatible with the i386/i486 CPUs. It is a Superscalar implementation of the x86 instruction set. The Pentium processor has 2-5*higher performance than the i486 CPU at the same frequency. Techniques used to achieve this level of performance are described. Attention is given to data integrity and functional redundancy, new compiler technology, and validation.<>
