This is a comprehensive reference to Intel's microprocessor, the P6. The book looks from a programmer's point of view at the architecture, features and operation of systems built using this successor... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Suitable as a fast introduction to the Pentium Pro, but limited only to that. Gives an overview of the features that distinguish the chip from the Pentium processors. A decent description of the processor's pipeline. A mishmash of information about pins, bus transactions, system programming, etc. In every catagory, the information is a mishmash and is limited. This book is not a good substitute for the official Intel manuals.
