Intel Pentium 75

"Pentium done right" in general sense. The core only needs 3,3V instead of 5V like the Pentium 60 or 66. Because of this, and the smaller production size, the heat output is a lot less. Also upgradeability is better as the socket 4 topped out at 66MHz (133MHz for expensive Overdrive chips) where normal socket 7 boards could go up to 133MHz for socket 5 systems.

Unfortunately the Pentium 75 only has a 50MHz front side bus which is a bit too narrow. It's faster brothers, at 90MHz and 100MHz, run noticeably faster because their FSB runs at 60MHz and 66MHz respectively. In the whole Pentium line-up it's clearly visible that 50MHz FSB parts fall behind 60MHz or faster FSB parts. It's no wonder that if you run a Pentium 150 at 3x50MHz FSB it will not be faster than a Pentium 133 (2x66MHz FSB) in overall performance. Try Doom for example; it will run with about 72FPS which is slower than the Pentium 120! Luckily the Pentium 150 uses a 60MHz bus :).

Back in the day (1995) our family PC was based on a Pentium 75. A decent PC for it's time however I noticed that some of the games I played mentioned the Pentium 90 as recommended CPU. Looking back with games like Death Rally, Terra Nova, Duke Nukem 3D in SVGA and Fifa Soccer '96 in sVGA: they all run on a Pentium 75 but on a Pentium 90 they are all just that pleasant bit faster. It really shows that the overall performance improves drastically with a higher CPU clock, higher busspeed and higher PCI-bus. The Doom benchmark shows an increase from 53 to 63 FPS on the Pentium 90; that's almost 19% faster!
