Customer Reviews

A fast overview

Suitable as a fast introduction to the Pentium Pro, but limited only to that. Gives an overview of the features that distinguish the chip from the Pentium processors. A decent description of the processor's pipeline. A mishmash of information about pins, bus transactions, system programming, etc. In every catagory, the information is a mishmash and is limited. This book is not a good substitute for the official Intel manuals.
