What it was

Mobile Intel Pentium II processor 233 MHz is recorded in the 1998 CPU research cohort under Intel. The current display name and classification are normalization proposals.

Source product name

Source model number
Not established
Source manufacturer
Intel Corporation
Research scope
mobile PCs; OEM/system and component module channels

Why it existed

manufacturer stated

Intel addresses mobile PC performance and battery-conscious platform requirements

Intended users: mobile PC users and OEMs

Engineering response: 233 MHz mobile Pentium II in mini-cartridge/module form with mobile-system integration

Evidence and limits

Intel Introduces First Pentium II Processors for Mobile PCs · lines 4-10

Intel describes the first mobile Pentium II and mobile PC platform response.

No comparable battery-life or benchmark result retained.

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.

Assessment
proposed

Verified pair introduction and same-day mobile-PC/component evidence support a mobile model-variant proposal.

Open questions and review

Ordering part number and geographic availability.

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

duplicate · resolved no change

The 233 MHz and 266 MHz mobile Pentium II entries are separate named speed variants introduced together; shared announcement timing is not duplicate identity.

Audit source · lines 4-7 and 16-20

Intel names both speeds and gives separate mini-cartridge and mobile-module availability details.

Follow-up: Retain two speed-grade records and keep their shared date as independently stated rather than inherited from a family record.

scope error · follow up

The expanded cohort spans component introductions; system availability; boxed channels; mobile OEM modules; upgrade reseller availability; and planned system shipments. These are legitimate segment-specific facts but no single availability event can be assumed equivalent across all records.

Audit source · lines 17-22

Intel itself distinguishes introduction from availability in the next few weeks for Celeron 266; the same event-typing separation is required across the expanded cohort.

Follow-up: Maintain typed event and channel fields through human review; do not rank or filter records by a single unqualified release-date column.

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

Typed events: Intel says it introduced the first mobile Pentium II processor on 1998-04-02 at 233 and 266 MHz; mobile PCs are available beginning today and 233-MHz mini-cartridge/module pricing is stated. Segment remains mobile; exact ordering part number and geographic sell-through are unknown.
