Released in 1995 as upgrade for 486-systems. It is a modified 3.3V 0,6 µm Pentium-chip which is released at 63MHz and 83MHz. To enhance performance (the Pentium Overdrive runs on a slow 32-bit 486 motherboard) the P24T is equipped with 32KB L1-cache. The first generation Pentium's have 16KB.
The same as this Overdrive CPU except for one capacitor (see picture, in the corner) and the production date. This model is almost a year newer. > Read more
The Pentium Overdrive is a chip to turn a socket 3-based system (486) into a Pentium. Of course it isn't really possible to get Pentium-like performance and the Pentium Overdrive didn't. It featured twice as much L1 cache (32KB over 16KB) compared to the 'real' Pentium but had to work on the slower 486 33MHz-bus with 32-bit memory access. At last the Pentium Overdrive wasn't supported on every socket 3 motherboard so upgrading to this, expensive, chip wasn't always possible at all.
