Intel Pentium III Xbox

Historia

A modified version of Coppermine was developed for Microsofts Xbox game console. The only significant change was that the chip lost half of its L2 cache, dropping it down to 128 KB. Unlike the Celeron Coppermine variant with the same size L2 cache, Xboxs Coppermine core kept all of its 8-way L2 cache associativity from the Pentium III. This meant that the Xbox CPUs L2 cache was more efficient than Celerons. The Xbox CPU was manufactured onto the same Micro-PGA2 packaging as notebook chips.
