Dual Independent Bus (DIB)

The Pentium® III processor supports the high-performance

Dual Independent Bus (DIB) architecture. The DIB

architecture places the level 2 cache on a dedicated, high-

speed cache bus allowing for the system bus to be freed up

from cache traffic. This provides significantly higher

overall system bandwidth and allows for a dramatic

improvement in system performance and scalability.

Non-Blocking Level 1 Cache

The Pentium® III processor includes two separate 16 KB

level 1 (L1) caches, one for instruction and one for data.

The L1 cache provides fast access to the recently used

data, increasing the overall performance of the system.

256 KB, Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache

The Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) consists of

microarchitectural improvements to provide a higher data

bandwidth interface between the level 2 cache and the

processor core that is completely scaleable with the

processor core frequency. Features of the ATC include:

• Non-Blocking, full speed, on-die level 2 cache

• 8-way set associativity

• 256-bit data bus to the level 2 cache

• Reduced latency interface to cache data (as compared

to discrete caches)

Advanced System Buffering

The Advanced System Buffering consists of optimizations

in the system bus buffer sizes and bus queue entries that

result in an increase in the utilization of the available

bandwidth on the 100 and 133 MHz system bus.

• 4 writeback buffers

• 6 fill buffers

• 8 bus queue entries

Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions:

The Internet Streaming SIMD Extensions consist of 70
