Intel Pentium III 600 MHz processor

The Intel Pentium III processor, working at 600MHz with 512KB of cache, is the Intel's most advanced, most powerful processor for desktop PCs. It offers performance for the next generation of the Internet, as well as the quality, reliability and compatibility you expect from the world's leading microprocessor company.

Ideal for avid PC users, gamers and serious Internet surfers, the Pentium III processor can unleash the full multimedia capabilities of your PC—including full-screen, full-motion video and realistic graphics—for an enhanced, exciting Internet experience. It integrates the best attributes of the latest Intel processor platforms with new technology, featuring 70 new instructions that let you enjoy new graphics, Web sites and software to the fullest. The Pentium III processor enables higher polygon counts and advanced lighting effects, which can provide software and Web sites with more lifelike surfaces, more objects rendered in a given scene, and amazing shadow effects and reflections rendered in real time. This makes for more immersive gaming and entertainment experiences on your PC and more detail and convenience for online shopping. The performance of the Pentium III processor enables software developers to incorporate a greater degree of realism and interactivity. Imagine flight simulators with wings that actually flex, driving simulations with suspension that actually works, or gaming characters with fingers that can touch and grasp. The Pentium III processor can provide better responsiveness with your graphics software by offering increased frame rates, color depths, and image processing algorithms. This means you can work with large, complex images and digital photographs without the wait.Because video files tend to be large, all the benefits of the Pentium III processor realized for still imaging are even more important for editing and viewing video. In addition, the performance capabilities of the processor allow for real-time MPEG-2 video encoding and editing and great performance for streaming video—resulting in higher quality video on the Internet. The Pentium III processor can provide greater accuracy and faster response time in new applications that feature this exciting capability. With this performance advance, speech capabilities cross the threshold into real usability for real-time speech Web browsing or word processing.
