CPU

The 2200C/2700C Notebook PC uses the Intel Mobile Pentium III/Celeron (.18) processor in an FC- PGA370 package.

The Intel Mobile Pentium III/Celeron (.18) processor features an integrated L2 cache (256KB for

Pentium III and 128KB for Celeron (.18)) and a 64-bit high performance system bus.

The Mobile Pentium III/Celeron (.18) processor’s 64-bit wide Low Power Gunning Transceiver Logic system bus is compatible with the SIS630S AGP Set and provides a glue-less, point-to-point interface for an I/O bridge/memory controller.

The Intel Pentium III and Celerons (.18) processors are fully compatible with all software written for the Pentium processor with MMX technology, Pentium processor, Intel486 microprocessor, and Intel386 microprocessor. In addition, they provide improved multimedia & communication perfor- mance. Their features:

Performance improved over existing mobile processors

-Supports the Intel Architecture with Dynamic Execution

-Supports the Intel Architecture MMX technology

Integrated primary (L1) instructions and data caches

-4-way set associative, 32-byte line size, 1 line per sector

-16-Kbyte instruction cache and 16-Kbyte writeback data cache

-Cacheable range programmable by processor programmable registers

Integrated second level (L2) cache

-4-way set associative, 32-byte line size, 1 line per sector

-Operated at full core speed
