- Hey folks,
It´s a #Katmai! 25 years ago, exactly on February 26th 1999, the third Pentium was born. This date marks a unique milestone in the x86 CPU history.
Let´s explore this milestone in CPU history a bit more in detail together.
In this video I will introduce the major processors of the Pentium 3 family, talk about its main features and I will also dive deeper into the microarchitecture using some microscopy pictures made by Fritzchens Fritz and others.
I hope you enjoy this birthday video dedicated to the Pentium III!
More to come!
CPU Duke
P.S. This is my first 4K video as I switched from Sony´s Alpha 6000 to the Sony Alpha 6600 - I hope you like it!

Man I remember making my first PC with my own money... The Coppermine cpu holds a very sentimental place in my heart... it was the first CPU i ever bought wiht my own money.. the first time I ever played with overclocking and the my first real venture into computers outside of it being a hobby.... my coppermine and 440bx mobo still bring back a lot of good times. thanks for sharing this.
That IBM machine in the background looks beautiful. Good save from the bin man
I remember getting my first computer with a pentium III and thinking that it had unreal performance
Very well made video! Thanks for making this info available for us!
It's so cool seeing the L2 cache literally merged into a single die while the computing blocks only changed minimally. The Xeon version with gigantic L2 cache "copy-pasted" design is even cooler.
Who would even notice the hologram sticker was not redesigned for P3, great video.
I rember those 600MHz EB marked, i don't know what they done, but speed of applications and network transfer went through the roof
We meet again, nowadays it is very difficult to find a used pentium iii, but now I am testing the compilation with heavy and modern linux distros.
the compilation time with this cpus took ever most than 5 hours, in the best of cases with minimal installation with xorg.
In the future will test more older architectures than athlon xp
I had a 550mhz slot P3.
I also had 2x 800mhz cumine p3 chips on a mobo. It was a sweet computer for the time.
Nice video! Thanks!
Was there any copper in the P3 Coppermine CPU? That was cheeky to call it CuMine when it still used the Aluminum interconnects.
Intel codenames are named after places... I think it references the Coppermine River in Canada.
The best part about the P3 is that its what current cpus are based on after the death of Netburst (Pentium 4)...Long Live the Pentium 3!
That was the Pentium M. Current CPUs are based on AMD Athlon 64 cross licensing. Pentium 3 is completely unusable with modern software due to lacking sse2 and security, so Pentium 4 vastly outlasted it especially with multitasking. Pentium 3 however was the first gaming grade CPU and used in original Xbox. Has it's place, but Intel tried really hard to kill it with constant platform changes. Slot, socket, tualatin. Athlon XP was better platform, higher FSB, DDR dual channel, then Athlon 64. 64 and sse2 killed the athlon XP as well. Every sse update killed the previous gen due to software incompatibility. Sad, because it wasn't a hard requirement, mostly compiler flags. So you are stuck with old software and Linux.
Uarch wise, Intel cores are all descendants of the P6 family with things like SMT ported over since Nehalem. AMD64 ISA was implemented on P6-style uarches
Nice! Katmai also has 133mhz FSB models. I had a 600B in the 2000s
My friend had a P3 600B back then. It beaten my Athlon XP at 1133 MHz.
@@zoltangabordudas4393 No way, Athlon XP has more IPC.
@@jperez2003us Somehow Quake III with OSP ran better on the P3 than my 1133. And i had a GForce 2 MX400 too!!
Very cool, thanks!
Pentium III 450MHz was the processor in my first PC.
The best Pentium
Looking forward to the xbox teardown!
celeron mendocino actually had full speed cache first, then it was the coppermine family.
Pentium Pro had full speed cache before the Celerons, but it was off-die
What do you mean more than 100mhz FSB can only be used with PGA370 systems? I certainly have a Slot 1 600EB.
Got it, yes that 600EB in deed is a Coppermine 133 MHz FSB slot 1 CPU!
The cache definitely spikes the transistor count. Each bit of sram uses 6 transistors.
give the xbox the intel Pentium 4 cpu as a mod
and you will experience the China Syndrome live. The board will melt and the processor underneath will fall out.
@@mibnsharpalsnot true it would be a slight performance boost
Pentium 1 was 1993 not 1995 though.
P54CS and P55C was 1995, but sure P5 was in 1993-I made a whole video about it!
I like the naked die. For me, all chips should be shipped delidded.
I have a 1.3 tualatin in a powerleap adapter, in or840 board using dual channel rambus, with obsidian x-24, radeon 8500 aiw, vortex 2 sq2500, Logitech rumble mouse, scsi, Windows ME with kernel EX. The thing isn't 100% stable, think irq conflict, ghz too high, and cpu requires a second slot Terminator which also may be unstable. I have plans to use a PiKVM stream to Internet. Maybe charge to play on, but no website skills. Who knows, just sitting in basement for now.
hi bro, i have a DFI PB61-V3 with 450mhz katmai cpu, can board run coppermine cpus? (i know it can only do a max of 100mhz fsb)
theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/dfi-pb61-v3#docs
I am. It sure. Which coppermine version do you have?
@@cpu_duke oh no idea not home atm
