The new Pentium II processors provide a strong performance boost over previous processors.
. .
. .
Table 1 shows SPECint*95 performance benchmarks for current Pentium II processors
. .
Pentium II 350 MHz and 400 MHz are full-featured Deschutes processors. Benchmarks for a 200-
. .
. .
MHz Pentium Pro with 512-KB L2 cache are included as a comparison. Please keep in mind that
. .
the SPECint*95 benchmark is designed to reflect processor performance and does not necessarily
. .
. .
reflect actual system performance.

Over the years, Compaq has developed tools to make accurate predictions of processor and system
. .
. .
performance even before the hardware designs are complete. Although the Pentium II Xeon
. .
processor has not been formally announced by Intel, Compaq engineers have used this expertise to
. .
. .
model the performance of Pentium II Xeon systems. Figure 2 shows predicted performance of a
. .
Pentium II Xeon system compared with the performance of current Pentium Pro systems.
