  9 FC-PGA and FC-PGA2 Celeron processors were added to Intel Celeron CPU page. Not all S-Spec numbers for these processors are updated yet, I'll fix those during the next update of S-Spec pages.

  I added new 80188 embedded processors. 80188 CPUs were produced in many different packages for commercial, industrial and military operating temperature ranges. From 7 new processors you'll find one mil-spec AMD 80188 CPU - that's the first mil-spec 80188 microprocessor listed on the site.

  Added five Intel 8087 FPU chips. One is very rare engineering sample of 8087 running at 4 MHz. The rest of the co-processors are C8087 with M, T and Q prefixes (mil-spec, extended temperature and burn-in screening respectively):

  I updated Intel 80386 CPU family with 8 new processors. More than half of them are variations of common Intel 80386 processors with different markings, but there are three interesting ones: two MG80386 mil-spec microprocessors, and one 80386-16 CPU that has multiplication bug in 32-bit mode. To see some of these processors go to the processor page and click on a "More pictures" link.

  4 more benchmarks of Pentium III FC-PGA processors were adedd to Benchmarks page.

  I added the last batch of Pentium III Slot 1 processors. Out of four processors one is Katmai 550 engineering sample. No more Slot 1 updates are planned, but I do have many FC-PGA Pentium III chips to put online. I'll do another series of updates with them after I finish with Motorola 68000 CPUs.

  I started a series of updates to Motorola 68000 CPU family. Today I added 5 Motorola microprocessors, including the slowest 68000 processor - 4 MHz MC68000L4. As the Motorola 68000 page is getting really big I'm planning to split it into separate 68000, 68HC000, 68HC001 and 68EC000 pages.

  I added Weitek 4167 co-processor family with only one co-processor (for now). I'm still looking for 25 MHz version of this co-processor, and for any boxed version of 4167.

  Updated information on Pentium III Slot 1 processors. A few Pentium III processors now include benchmark data.

  I added 4 processors to Pentium III CPU family. One processor in today's update is an early engineering sample produced before Pentium III processors were introduced in February 1999. Don't miss it!

  I added benchmarks for Celeron PPGA processors.  
       
Apr 10
 
  I tested 6 VIA Cyrix III processors. More tests of socket 370 processors will be posted next weekend - I plan to test all Celeron PPGA CPUs and some Celeron and Pentium III FC-PGA microprocessors.  
       
Apr 5
 
  I have 7 more Pentium III Slot 1 processors to add to the site, but I decided to interrupt posting of Pentium III CPUs and add something old and vintage, like 6800 microprocessors. There is nothing special in this update - not very common Thomson and Fairchild 6800 processors, and one Motorola 6800 CPU.
