Intel® Pentium® Desktop Processors For embedded computing
Intel® Pentium® processors include the innovative features of Intel® Core™ microarchitecture to deliver energy-efficient dual-core performance for cost-sensitive embedded designs. Available in both 45nm and 65nm process technology, two complete execution cores in one physical package provide simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multi-tasking environments. The 800 MHz front-side bus speed helps support fast data transfer between the processor and the chipset.
These dual-core processors are well suited for a wide range of performance-intensive, low-power embedded applications in smaller form factors such as retail and transaction solutions (i.e., point-of-service terminals and ATMs), gaming platforms, industrial control and automation, and print imaging. While incorporating advanced processor technology, these processors remain software-compatible with previous IA-32 processors.
Intel® Pentium® processors are validated with a variety of chipsets for a selection of graphics, security, manageability, power-efficiency and performance capabilities:
- Intel® Pentium® processor E5300Δ (45nm) is validated with the Intel® G45 Express, Intel® G41 Express, Intel® Q45 Express and Intel® Q35 Express Chipsets
- Intel® Pentium® processor E2160Δ (65nm) is validated with the Intel® Q35 Express and Intel® Q965 Express Chipsets

Features and benefits
| Dual-core processor | Runs two independent processor cores in one physical package at the same frequency. Features up to two MB of shared L2 cache and 800 MHz Front Side Bus. |
|---|---|
| Intel® 64 architectureΦ | Supports 64-bit instructions, providing flexibility for 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. Access to larger physical memory space reduces load on the system and allows faster access to data from RAM instead of the drive. |
| Intel® Advanced Smart Cache | Improves system performance by significantly reducing memory latency to frequently used data through dynamic allocation of shared L2 cache to each of the processor cores. |
| Intel® Intelligent Power Capability | Manages runtime power consumption of execution cores by turning on computing functions only when needed. Reduces overall power consumption, enabling quieter, more power-efficient system designs. |
Δ Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families. See www.intel.com/products/processor_number/ for details.
Φ 64-bit computing on Intel® architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. Consult with your system vendor for more information.
