What it was

Intel Pentium II 300 MHz is recorded in the 1997 CPU research cohort under Intel. The current display name and classification are normalization proposals.

Source product name
Intel Pentium II processor 300 MHz
Source model number
Not established
Source manufacturer
Intel Corporation
Research scope
business desktop and workstation systems

Why it existed

manufacturer stated

Intel targets higher workstation performance while separating workstation timing from desktop introduction

Intended users: workstations and business desktop users

Engineering response: Pentium II at 300 MHz with workstation availability planned for Q3 1997

Evidence and limits

Intel Delivers the Next Level of Computing with the New Pentium II Processor · launch and workstation availability sections

Intel names 300 MHz and states workstation availability for Q3.

Q3 plan is not proof of shipment; no independent benchmark attached.

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
product introduction with planned workstation availability
Proposed timing
1997-05-07 · exact precision
Assessment
review required

Retain the exact family introduction date while preserving the workstation channel gap.

Open questions and review

First workstation shipment and ordering part number are unresolved.

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

evidence gap · follow up

Processor introduction is distinct from planned workstation availability; do not collapse announcement and system availability.

Audit source · launch and availability passages

Verification preserves exact introduction with workstation availability planned for Q3.

Follow-up: Keep event types separate and require human cohort decision.

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 introduced 300 MHz with the family but states workstation availability for Q3; preserve this channel/timing gap.
