80186

[edit]

It should be noted here that despite everyone saying it was only available as embedded systems, there were still lots of desktop systems (like the siemens pc-d I have in my cellar). it was available with a 80187 fpu and a revolutionary bus system that allowed up to 127 extension cards.. if your case was big enough... and then later I got some 14mb hard drive... ah, those were the times... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.176.232.207 (talk) 19:11, September 10, 2006

"Built-in multitasking" ?

[edit]

I removed this completely nonsensical statement. It was perhaps the intention that some reference be made to support for _virtual memory_, so it's fair to say "had built-in support for multitasking o/s's that require vm".

One multitasking feature that requires hardware support in CPUs is the ability of the outside bus or memory connection of each CPU package to coordinate access to the same memory bytes by 2 or more CPU packages in the same computer (such as in a computer with two 80386 CPUs or one with two multicore Xeon CPUs). It is this hardware feature which allows multitasking operating system kernels to reliably run code on more than one CPU at the same time. CPU models without this feature cannot be used in motherboards with room for more than one CPU, but will have the feature internally between their cores or hyperthreads (if any).

IXP?

[edit]

Shouldn't the Intel IXP product line be listed?

Proposed extension of the tables at the top

[edit]

The top of the article presents the important information as convenient tables. But then the article descends into reams of artistically phrased text that is not so easily navigated. This is a simple suggestion to expand the tables at the top with the information from the bottom as follows:

  • In the headline above each of the similar tables, put the numeric generation before the code name, e.g. "12th gen Core Mobile, codenamed Alder Lake" instead of "Mobile - codenamed Alder Lake (12th gen)".
  • Between each headline and table, insert other facts salvaged from the bottom of the article.
  • Add a column with transistor count and node size (e.g. "3.1 million (800nm)" for the original P5 Pentium 60MHz with FDIV flaw), noting that this may vary between individual models in a generation.
  • Do include the workstation/server models in each generation, not just the consumer models, or add a specific note in the additional facts if no such model was shipped in that generation.

Missing N100

[edit]

The N100 is a processor in succession of the Celeron line. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231803/intel-processor-n100-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz/specifications.html

It is nowhere to be found on Wikipedia. This list really should contain it.
