However, it was more of a preview to partners and press, since the official announcement of the processor was only made on 26 February of the same year.

And among the major innovations included the support of SSE instructions and optimized work with memory. Thanks to that, Intel managed to improve performance in new applications that use SSE extensions, and the existing ones (due to the increased speed of work with memory).
