June 12, 1995

This morning Intel announced immediate availability of its
fastest microprocessor to date, the 133 MHz Pentium®
Processor. The new chip is targeted for both servers and
high-performance desktop systems. With the new version,
Intel is now offering nine Pentium processors, all aimed
at different market segments. Two weeks ago Intel introduced
a 90-MHz Pentium processor for mobile computers.

The new processor is the second product to result from
Intel's investment in advanced 0.35 micron, 3.3 volt
manufacturing technology and is expected to be designed
initially into high-end desktops and high-performance
servers. The 133-MHz Pentium processor delivers
155 SPECint92 and 116 SPECfp92 of performance -- more than
twice the speed of the original 60-MHz Pentium processor
introduced in March 1993.

"End users in business and home market segments are moving
quickly to systems based on the fastest Pentium processors,"
noted Carl Everett, senior vice president, Desktop
Products Group. "The industry is poised to meet this
demand for performance, and will be offering many choices
among 133-MHz Pentium processor desktops and servers at
or shortly after introduction."

Pentium processor revenues exceeded those of Intel486
processors in the first quarter of 1995 and Everett said
Intel is on track for the volume run rate to cross over
some time this year. He added that by the end of the year,
Intel expects most system vendors to be offering 75-MHz
and 90-MHz Pentium processors at the entry-level of their
product lines, 100-MHz and 120-MHz Pentium processors
in the mainstream, and 133-MHz and even faster-performing
processors at the high end.

In 1,000-piece quantities, the 133-MHz Pentium processor
is priced at $935.
