Intel Pentium II brand is the 6th generation microarchitecture and x86-compatible microprocessors which was introduced on May 7, 1997. It contains 7.5 million transistors which features an improved version of the first P6-generation core of the Pentium Pro CPUs, which contained 5.5 million transistors. In early 1999, the Pentium II was superseded by the Pentium III.

Some significant improvements were exercised on Pentium II microprocessor which was largely based upon the microarchitecture of its predecessor, the Pentium Pro. Unlike previous Pentium and Pentium Pro processors, the Pentium II CPU was packaged in a slot-based module rather than a CPU socket.

The processor and associated components were carried on a daughterboard similar to a typical expansion board within a plastic cartridge. A fixed or removable heatsink was carried on one side, sometimes using its own fan.
