Pentium II

[Possibility]

Hey,

I'm writing a report on Intel's Pentium II (in broad), specifically focusing on what sort of new technology and architecture it brought to the market in 1997 and how it was improved over previous Intel chips. Other than what I've gotten off of Intel's site and what I'm not afraid to use off of Wikipedia, I am having trouble finding other sources for information on the architecture, advances, technologies, improvements, etc. of the Pentium 2. I am looking for anything - books, reports, websites, etc.. Can anyone give me some helpful links or information?

This is all really in-depth, have you checked all these pages?

Intel® Pentium® II Processor - Product Overview
Intel® Pentium® II Processor
Intel® Pentium® II Processor - Technical Documents

Other than that, try this:

Pentium Pro and Pentium II System ... - Google Book Search

Maybe call your favourite computer magazine, see if they have a back issue reviewing the P2 core that they can sell you...
I remember something about it having floating point that superseded MMS in a big way.

Have you tried using archive.org to read tech websites from that time?

All good ideas, thanks! The only problem with magazines/books is that we have only been given one week to complete this paper, and so by the time a book or magazine was shipped to me it'd be too late. However, for that book, I might be able to find it in the local book store.
