分析家称,Intel的Slot2是个庞然大物。这种新一代的PentiumⅡ处理器的尺寸更大,性能更好,当然其价格也将更为不菲。用来安装新型PentiumⅡ的Slot2插槽的尺寸大小将是目前Slotl插槽的2倍。新的Slot2主要设计用于象服务器和工作站这样的高端电脑。顶级的芯片自然要配以顶级的价格。主频400和450Mhz的Slot2PentiumⅡ系统的批发价是2000到3000美元,比现有PentiumⅡ台式机芯片的价格高的多。而台式机PentiumⅡ的价格是268到722美元。 Dataquest的半导体分析家Nathan Brookwood表示,“一切都是商业现实。你可能会说这种天文数字的价格是由于缺乏竞争所致,但实际上DEC、SGI和HP都是其强有力的竞争对手。Intel的产品的确物有所值。” Slot2的包装与界面将部分沿用现有的Slot1所采用的。Slot1黑色光滑的外表已随PentiumⅡ的广告一起成了PentiumⅡ的象征之一。Slot1的设计在多方面体现了微处理器结构的发展与变革。比如,它将针式管脚换成了电子插槽并且允许用一条次级处理器总线来连接额外的缓存。所谓总线就是其它部件与CPU之间的通路,而缓存则用于消除CPU于主存间的差异。
Analysts said that Intel’s Slot2 is a monster. This new generation of Pentium II processors are larger and better, and of course their price will be even higher. The Slot 2 slot used to install the new Pentium II will be twice the size of the current Slotl slot. The new Slot2 is primarily designed for high-end PCs like servers and workstations. The top chip naturally accompanied by the top price. The 400 and 450Mhz Slot2Pentium Ⅱ system wholesale price is 2000 to 3000 US dollars, higher than the current Pentium Ⅱ desktop chip prices. The desktop Pentium Ⅱ price is 268 to 722 US dollars. Nathan Brookwood, a semiconductor analyst at Dataquest, said: “Everything is a commercial reality, and you might argue that the price of such an astronomical figure is due to a lack of competition, but in fact DEC, SGI and HP are both strong competitors. Intel’s products are indeed worth the money. ”Slot2’s packaging and interface will be partially followed by the existing Slot1. Slot1 Black smooth appearance has become a symbol of Pentium Ⅱ with the Pentium Ⅱ ads. The design of Slot1 reflects the development and change of microprocessor architecture in many aspects. For example, it replaced pin headers with electronic slots and allowed additional cache connectivity with a sub-processor bus. The so-called bus is the path between other components and the CPU, while the cache is used to eliminate the difference between CPU in the main memory.
