Pentium Pro
Story
​
The Pentium Pro had to be a great advance, since it incorporated a cache memory never seen to date, which according to the magazines of the time "guessed" the instructions that it was going to receive from the previous ones, anticipating in this way and getting a processing speed never seen before.
In practice, the truth is that due to their high cost, very few units were sold.
Only large companies or universities had a Pentium Pro in their ranks.
This Pentium Pro on these pages is the first I've seen in my life, and I've been messing around with computers for many years.
