Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz
About this item
The Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz was the professional-grade processor that powered servers and high-end workstations in the mid-1990s. Released in 1995, its revolutionary P6 microarchitecture with integrated L2 cache made it a beast for 32-bit applications — and a status symbol for anyone who could afford one. At its peak, the Pentium Pro cost over $1,000, making it the domain of serious enthusiasts and businesses.
Today the Pentium Pro is collected for its distinctive ceramic package with gold-plated pins, which also gives it scrap value. Retro computing enthusiasts seek working units for period-correct Windows NT builds, while gold recovery hobbyists target the processor for its precious metal content. This dual demand creates an interesting market dynamic.
