The Pentium II was basically a more consumer-oriented version of the Pentium Pro. It was cheaper to manufacture because of the separate, slower L2 cache memory. The improved 16-bit performance and MMX support made it a better choice for consumer-level operating systems, such as Windows 9x, and multimedia applications. Combined with the larger L1 cache and improved 16-bit performance, the slower and cheaper L2 cache's performance impact was reduced. General processor performance was increased while costs were cut.

i have one of these with a compaq AT motherboard….
%14394 worse than my cpu. I7 3770 :D
My first CPU :D
Power consumption is wrong and needs to be 27,1w instead of 271
271 W ! And today we demand from companies to reduce to less than 70 and stuff :P
OMG 450Ghz! Correct that one :P
It's corrected. Thanks for noticing!
Hmm only 90% worse than my CPU.
