Evergreen's Performa Processor Upgrade Family Now Powered By Pentium III Coppermine CPU & Its Celeron (Coppermine 128) Derivative.Business Editors CORVALLIS, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2000 Evergreen's Performa III 600 & 700 upgrade PII See Pentium II. systems with latest PIII PIII Pentium III Processor (Intel) PIII Phase III (clinical studies) PIII Plasma Immersion Ion Implanter Coppermine CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. ; Performa 600 upgrades PII and Celeron systems with derivative Coppermine 128 CPU (Celeron); Performa Pro 600 upgrades Pentium Pro The sixth generation of the Intel x86 family of CPU chips. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that uses it. Introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Pentium, models from 150 MHz to 200 MHz were released. systems with Coppermine 128 CPU (Celeron) Evergreen Technologies, Inc., a leader in PC performance upgrades since 1989, today announced the most recent evolution of its Performa processor upgrade family. The product line, designed for upgrading older Pentium II The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code named "Klamath," the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions. (R), Celeron(tm) and Pentium Pro processor-based desktop PCs, now includes the next generation, 0.18 micron Pentium III Coppermine CPU and its Celeron derivative (Coppermine 128). The Coppermine 128 chip is made from the regular Pentium III Coppermine core, which includes 256K L2 cache. Intel disables half of that L2 cache, leaving 128 K functional, and creates the PIII-based value line of Celeron processors at 600 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and above. Previous Celerons were based on Intel's Mendocino core, which was produced on the 0.25 micron process and did not include the new SSE (1) An earlier full-screen editor in OS/2. (2) (Streaming SIMD Extensions) A series of additional instructions built into Pentium CPU chips for improved multimedia performance by performing mathematical operations on multiple sets of data at the instructions for enhanced multimedia performance. "Ever since the release of the Celeron 600, the Celeron line has been manufactured using the new Coppermine 128 core which features the same advanced SSE instructions and flipchip technology of the new PIII core," said Mike Magee, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Evergreen Technologies. "We now offer the next generation of PIII processor performance to users of older Pentium II, Celeron and Pentium Pro desktops who want to speed up their power-hungry software like Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000 or the upcoming Windows Millennium." Evergreen Performa III 600 and 700 MHz Upgrades for PII Systems 350 MHz and Above: Evergreen's Performa III upgrades enable users of Pentium II systems running at 350 MHz and above to boost their processing power to that of the latest Coppermine PIII 600 or 700 MHz CPU. The Evergreen Performa III features the full 100 MHz front side bus performance of Intel's PIII Coppermine processor. Evergreen's Performa III 600 is $349.99 (street price), while the Performa III 700 is $419.99 (street price). Evergreen Performa 600 for Upgrading Older Celeron and PII Systems: Evergreen's Performa 600 is a high-performance subsystem upgrade for 233 MHz and higher speed Celeron "Stick" and Pentium II processor-based PCs. Featuring the newest Intel Celeron (Coppermine 128) 600 MHz CPU, the Performa 600 enables users to easily migrate to 600MHz performance and the latest MMX (MultiMedia EXtensions) A set of 57 additional instructions built into the Pentium MMX chip for improved multimedia and modem performance by performing mathematical operations on multiple sets of data at the same time (see SIMD). and SIMD (Single Instruction stream Multiple Data stream) A computer that performs one operation on multiple sets of data. It is typically used to add or multiply eight or more sets of numbers at the same time for multimedia encoding and rendering as well as scientific video enhancement instructions. Evergreen's Performa 600 is $219.99 (street price). Evergreen Performa Pro 600 for Upgrading Pentium Pro (Single and Multiprocessor) Systems: Evergreen's Performa Pro 600 enables users of Pentium Pro 180 MHz and higher speed systems to boost their processing power to that of the new Intel Celeron (Coppermine 128) 600 MHz CPU. Some Pentium Pro systems are multiprocessor systems, and the Performa Pro 600 can upgrade each processor in these systems as well. Evergreen's Performa Pro sells for $299.99 (street price). Easy Installation, No Reinstallation of Software Necessary: Customers need only open their system case, and follow Evergreen's illustrated, step-by-step installation guide to remove the old Pentium II, Celeron or Pentium Pro CPU and replace it with Evergreen's Performa upgrade. As a service to its customers, Evergreen also provides a collection of BIOS updates for selected systems, which the customer might need in order to complete their upgrade. The whole upgrade process takes minutes. Additionally, the customer will not need to reinstall To go through the installation process once again, because files have become corrupted. See reload. their operating system or application software, which would be required if they chose a complete motherboard upgrade instead of a processor upgrade.
