Yesterday, the Pentium processor turned 20 years old, a huge milestone for Intel.
The first chip in the line, the Pentium P5, was introduced on March 22nd, 1993, boasting such impressive specs as 66 MHz clock speed, 3.1 million transistors, a TDP of up to 16 W, and a 800nm manufacturing process.
Intel's new Ivy Bridge processors have clock speeds up to 3.90GHz, 1.4 billion transistors, a TDP of up to 77W and a 22nm dye process, making the chips many, many, many, many times more powerful and smaller than their older brother.
Engadget has collected a couple of funny old Pentium videos, including one by parody artist Weird Al Yankovic.
