Level-1 Cache Memory

The L1 cache memory is divided into two separate banks:

L1 I-cache for instruction words.

L1 D-cache for data words.

For more information about Level-1 cache, refer to “Instruction and Data
Cache” on page 46.

Level-2 Cache Memory

The L2 cache memory, when installed, has a 32-byte line size. It is controlled
by the Host Bridge chip (SiS 5511) in the system board chipset. A single HP
cache memory module consists of 256 KB of direct mapped, synchronous,
static random access memory (SRAM).

Pentium Processor (D4051-63001)

with Intel’s family of x86 processors. All application software that has been
written for Intel386 and Intel486 processors can run on the Pentium without
modification. The Pentium processor contains all the features of the
Intel486 processor, with the following added features which enhance
performance:

Superscalar Architecture

Floating Point Unit

Dynamic Branch Prediction

Instruction and Data cache

Data Integrity

Supports MultiProcessor Specification (MPS) 1.1

PCI bus architecture

Advanced Power Management capability for reducing power consumption

The processor is seated in a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket.
