Coppermine T —  the name of a kernel of processors of Pentium III and Celeron. Zamyslen as a transitive step from Coppermine architecture kernel to Tualatin architecture kernel. There were on processing technique 0,18 microns. Has been oriented to operation with the chip sets supporting processors with kernel Tualatin. Data about largely serial release are not available.

Tualatin-256K —  The code name of a kernel and processors Socket 370 which have come in the stead Pentium III. Are made on 0,13 microns tehprotsessu. These are the last processors of a class of Pentium III. Differ from Coppermine more perfect architecture and the "know-how". Are characterised by a reduced voltage of power supply and smaller energopotrebleniem. Demand on motherboard VRM of the specification of 8.5 and special chip sets, for example, i815 B-step, VIA Apollo Pro133T, SiS635T, etc . An operating frequency of models for Desktop with FSB 100 MHz — 0,9, 1,0, 1,1, 1,2, 1,3, 1,4 GHz. Are released under name Celeron, with FSB 133 MHz — Pentium III. Konstruktiv FC-PGA2.

Tualatin-512K —  The code name of a kernel and processors. Contains kernel Tualatin, but has 512 Kbytes of cache memory L2. Processors are intended for transportable arrangements (FSB 133 MHz), appropriate serial versions for Desktop were not released. According to a number of experts it is linked so that the given processors did not compete to Pentium 4. In the architecture of the transportable processors created on the basis of kernel Tualatin-512K, support of processing techniques energosberezhenija is carried out. Demands VRM the specification of 8.5 and special chip sets, for example, i830 — a chip set for transportable solutions. Standard power of a kernel — 1,4 In and more low. There are models with FSB 100/133 MHz for economic models mini-and subnotebooks.

Tualatin-512K DP —  the code name of a kernel and processors for servers and workstations. Release of the first models with an operating frequency of 1,13 GHz and 1,26 GHz is carried out in second half of 2001 

Pentium III-M —  the transportable processors of a new generation made with usage of 0,13 microns of a procedure. A basis — kernel Tualatin. Have controls energopotrebleniem SpeedStep, Deeper Sleep, etc. Standard power of a kernel — 1,4 In and more low.

Pentium III-S —  processors with kernel Tualatin, processing technique — 0,13 microns, cache memory L2 — 512 Kbytes, operating frequencies — about 1,13 GHz. Are intended for the market of workstations and servers. Support dual-processor patterns. Konstruktiv FC-PGA2.

Timna —  the code name of the processors created on the basis of kernel Coppermine with cache memory L2 of 128 Kbytes, integrated on the chip a graphics kernel and the dynamic storage controller, presumably — Rambus. Are oriented on supercheap PC and teleprefixes. Release is excellent the corporation of Intel owing to hopelessness of a product.

Banias —  the code name of the processors, which architecture it is similar with Timna. The computing kernel of the processor, a graphics kernel, and also northern bridge of a chip set are integrated Into the chip. Contains more than 75 million transistors. Unlike Timna support RDRAM is not provided. It is supposed, that except the version with standard power supply variants Low Voltage and Ultra Low Voltage will be released.

Development of project Banias is carried on in Israeli Intel Israel Design Center, the beginning of mass production of the processor is planned on the beginning of 2003. The updated architecture of Pentium III is put in a basis of a kernel of new processor Banias , but without the hyperpipeline organisation inherent in processors of Pentium 4. Processors Banias will be released in the modifications oriented to transportable solutions. Before release Banias this sector transportable processors from Intel, namely — Pentium III, Low-Voltage occupy basically Pentium III and Ultra-Low-Voltage Pentium III, and also appropriate modifications of Pentium 4. The special processing technique of intraprocessor interconnections MicroOps Fusion is developed For reduction of energy consumed by processor Banias. Probably economic processor will find a place and in servers where the problem of consumption of energy and a heat release also takes not the last place.

As one of project head Banias has underlined, before a developers team is put three overall objectives: reduction of the sizes of transistors for lowering of consumed energy, development of effective processing technique of rise of clock rate without essential increase in consumed energy, development of effective processing technique of operation with commands of the processor.

Xeon —  the official name of the bar of the processors oriented to usage as a part of powerful servers and workstations.

The first variants have been constructed on kernel Deschutes and became changeover of processors of Pentium Pro. Processing technique — 0,25 microns. Processor Slot 2 plug. Processors of this type are capable to work in multiprocessor patterns. Cache memory L2 has size 512, 1024, 2048 Kbytes, that in many respects defines high cost and a heat release.

In the course of processing technique perfection release of different models of processors of Intel of Pentium III Xeon on the basis of kernel Coppermine with step-by-step transition to Tualatin architecture has been carried out .

The first models on Tualatin architecture: Intel of Pentium III Xeon DP (DP — double processor) — power on a kernel 1,10-1,15 In, processing technique 0,13 microns, 512 Kbytes L2, 133 MHz FSB, chip sets ServerWorks HE-SL and ServerWorks LE-3; Intel of Pentium III Xeon MP (MP — multiprocessor) — 1 Mb L3 on a chip for 8-processor systems and 512 Kbytes L3 on a chip for 4-processor systems, frequency of 1,60 GHz and above.

Server variants of the processors constructed on the basis of the architecture of Pentium 4 with kernel Foster, have received the name of Intel Xeon. The first representatives of these processors have operating frequencies from 1,7 GHz and are calculated for Socket 603 plug usage . Originally are intended for workstations of the higher and middle class with support of dual-processor patterns. Support of operation of Intel Xeon is carried out by a chip set i860, which price considerably above the price i850, Pentium used together with processors 4.

The following after Pentium III with kernel Tualatin became essentially new IA-32 the processors of Intel which have received the name of Pentium 4. But about this generation of interesting processors — in the following part of article.
