The Intel Pentium III 1000 was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in March 2000, at an MSRP of $990. It is part of the Pentium III lineup, using the Coppermine architecture with Slot 1. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Pentium III 1000 CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Pentium III 1000 has 256 KB of L2 cache and operates at 1000 MHz. Intel is building the Pentium III 1000 on a 180 nm production process using 28 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Pentium III 1000, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 33 W, the Pentium III 1000 consumes only little energy. The highest officially supported memory speed is 100 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. Actual memory technology support depends on the chosen motherboard, because the memory controller is located on the motherboard (not in the processor). Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Yes cooler.
Many games will refuse to start on this processor due to the lack of the SSE2/SSE3/SSE4 instruction set.
