The new Deschutes Pentium II and Pentium II Xeon processors, scheduled to announce in mid-
. . . .
. . . .
1998, are an extension of the Pentium II family, and keep the same IA32 architecture used in
. . . .
previous Pentium II processors. However, both processors, and especially the Pentium II Xeon

. . . .
processor, will have speed, cache, and other enhancements that will boost their performance well

past performance levels previously available from Pentium Pro or older Pentium II processors. In

servers. The Deschutes Pentium II processor will be deployed in workstations and mainstream

servers starting in 2Q 1998. The Pentium II Xeon will replace the Pentium Pro processor as the

workhorse processor for high-end systems beginning in mid-1998.
