Presentation
This is the slideshow we prepared as the end product of our research into the features of the Pentium M.
History, Pipeline, Innovations, Power and Performance of the Intel Pentium Mobile [PPT (r4)] [Blue Man Commercial]
Useful Sources
These are the sources we used to prepare our talk and that added to our general understanding of the topic. You may need a subscription to Microprocessor Report to view their articles (accessing them from UVa's network will work). Some sources contradicted each other (for example, one source claimed that the Pentium M's pipeline is 12 stages while most sources referenced the fact that Intel's only hint was that it is between 10 and 20 stages) -- we try to make it clear in our presentation when such inconsistencies exist.
