P5 (microarchitecture)
The first Pentium microprocessor was introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993. Its microarchitecture, dubbed P5, was Intel's fifth generation and the first superscalar IA-32 one. As a direct extension of the 80486 architecture, it included dual integer pipelines, a faster floating-point unit, wider data bus, separate code and data caches and features for further reduced address calculation latency. In 1996, the Pentium with MMX Technology (often simply referred to as Pentium MMX) was introduced with the same basic microarchitecture complemented with an MMX instruction set, larger caches, and some other enhancements.
