Intel · Pentium III · 1999 · Slot 1
The Intel Pentium III 700 is a desktop processor with 1 core, released in 1999 at an MSRP of $699. It is part of the Pentium III lineup, using the Pentium III platform, and fits the Slot 1 socket. Internally, it is built on the "Katmai" architecture. It operates at a fixed 0.7 GHz. Intel manufactures the "Katmai" silicon on a 250nm process node. Its multiplier is locked, so any overclocking has to come from raising the base clock rather than the multiplier. This processor supports SDRAM memory. With a TDP of 33W, the Pentium III 700 is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. This processor has no integrated graphics — a discrete GPU is required. The cache hierarchy consists of 32KB of L1 and 512KB of L2 cache. There is no L3 cache on this processor.
Top-end Katmai. The Coppermine transition happened alongside this model — 700 MHz was available in both Katmai (512KB half-speed L2) and Coppermine (256KB full-speed on-die L2).
