The IntelDX4 processor is available in speeds of 75 and 100MHz. At an iCOMP index rating of 435, the 100 MHz IntelDX4 processor performs up to 50% faster than the 66 MHz IntelDX2 processor. In addition, the IntelDX4 processor contains clock-multiplying technology which allows the processor to run three times faster than the system speed, further enhancing system performance. This performance is achieved in part by a 16K on-chip cache that is double that of the other Intel486 microprocessors, allowing frequently used data to be accessed more quickly for faster overall performance. The IntelDX4 processor has an integrated floating point unit, providing advanced power for floating point intensive applications. Like the other Intel486 microprocessors, the IntelDX4 processor achieves performance through a RISC integer core that executes frequently used instructions in a single clock cycle (compared to the Pentium processor's ability to execute multiple instructions in a single clock cycle).
All of this performance is achieved with low power consumption which has been achieved through the use of SL Technology as well as through Intel's new 0.6 micron manufacturing technology. This innovative technology makes it possible to integrate 1.6 million transistors onto a single chip operating at only 3.3 volts.
