Intel Pentium Overdrive

This page will show all objects that classify as Intel Pentium Overdrive. The Pentium Overdrive has been made by Intel, a company that has been around since 1968 and is today's biggest processor company. They started with the i4004, a microprocessor for calculators and such, but got popular with the 8086 and 8088. IBM used that processor in it's IBM-PC and clones of the IBM PC obviously used the same processor as well. Thanks to this evolution Intel could find it's way on the market and develop successors of the 8086 all up to todays Core i7.

Intel Pentium Overdrive 83 'SU014'

The Pentium Overdrive is a chip to turn a socket 3-based system (486) into a Pentium. Of course it isn't really possible to get Pentium-like performance and the Pentium Overdrive didn't. It featured twice as much L1 cache (32KB over 16KB) compared to the 'real' Pentium but had to work on the slower 486 33MHz-bus with 32-bit memory access. At last the Pentium Overdrive wasn't supported on every socket 3 motherboard so upgrading to this, expensive, chip wasn't always possible at all.
