Intel Pentium MMX 200 MHz Embedded Application

Intel · sku unresolved

Candidate · no owner discrepancy decision

What it was

Intel Pentium MMX 200 MHz Embedded Application is recorded in the 1997 CPU research cohort under Intel. The current display name and classification are normalization proposals.

Source product name: Intel Pentium processor with MMX technology 200 MHz embedded application
Source model number: Not established
Source manufacturer: Intel Corporation
Research scope: embedded PC designers and high-end embedded applications

Why it existed

manufacturer stated

Intel addresses performance needs in embedded PC applications

Intended users: embedded designers and high-end embedded applications

Engineering response: 200 MHz Pentium MMX embedded application/module positioning

Evidence and limits

High-End Embedded Applications To Get Performance Boost From Intel Pentium Processor With MMX Technology · opening and embedded application sections

Intel explicitly targets embedded designers and distinguishes application/module use.

Application availability is not equivalent to boxed CPU shipment; module SKU unknown.

What difference it made

Comparable benchmark evidence has not been established for this record. Missing results do not imply poor performance.

Release evidence

The year above is a research-cohort label. Announcement, production, shipment and retail availability are distinct events.

Proposed event: embedded application and module introduction
Proposed timing: 1997-09-29 · exact precision
Assessment: review required

Keep the embedded/module boundary distinct from desktop 200 MHz and flag unresolved module identity.

High-End Embedded Applications To Get Performance Boost From Intel Pentium Processor With MMX Technology
Intel Corporation · opening and embedded application sections
Intel targets embedded PC designers and names 200 MHz Pentium MMX plus a 166 MHz module.

Open questions and review

Embedded ordering module, package, and channel scope are unresolved.

No owner discrepancy decision is recorded. This does not mean there are no unresolved issues.

family variant overlap · follow up

Embedded Pentium MMX 200 is an embedded/module record, not a desktop SKU; keep segment and channel boundaries explicit.

Audit source · embedded product passage

Embedded identity is supported but exact commercial shipment channel remains unknown.

Follow-up: Preserve embedded category and do not merge with desktop 200 MHz records.

Original intake sources

These notes preserve the state at intake. Later verification is shown under Release evidence above; an original note saying verification had not occurred is not the current assessment.

Original research note

Intel positions 200 MHz Pentium MMX for embedded designers; preserve embedded/module boundary rather than merging with desktop 200 MHz.
