486, Pentium, and Itanium

Intel introduced the 486 micro chip in 1989, and in 1990 formally established a second style team, planning the processors code-named "P5" and "P6" in parallel and committing to a significant new processor each 2 years, versus the four or further years such designs had previously taken. The P5 was earlier noted as"Operation Bicycle" relating the cycles of the processor. The P5 was introduced in 1993 because the Intel Pentium, subbing a proprietary name for the previous half variety (numbers, like 486, can not be trademarked). The P6 followed in 1995 because the Pentium skilled and improved into the Pentium 2 in 1997. New architectures were developed alternately in city, CA and Hillsboro, Oregon.

The city style team embarked in 1993 on a successor to the x86 design, codenamed "P7". the primary try was born a year later, however quickly revived during a cooperative program with Hewlett-Packard engineers, although Intel presently took over primary style responsibility. The ensuing implementation of the IA-64 64-bit design was the Itanium, finally introduced in Gregorian calendar month 2001. The Itanium's performance running inheritance x86 code failed to win expectations, and it didn't effectively vie with 64-bit extensions to the first x86 design, 1st from AMD (the AMD64), then from Intel itself (the Intel sixty four design, at one time referred to as EM64T). As of November 2007, Intel continues to develop and deploy the Itanium.

The Hillsboro team designed the Willamette River processor (code-named P67 and P68) that was marketed because the Pentium four, and later developed the 64-bit extensions to the x86 design, gift in some versions of the Pentium four and within the Intel Core two chips. several chip variants were developed at AN workplace in Haifa, Israel
