    Based upon the lectures and the articles ``Intel's P6'' and ``P6 Weaknesses Revealed'' from BYTE magazine, write a one page description of the Intel P6. Write this in the style of a technical product description or summary. Use your own words and sentences; do not simply regurgitate parts of the article. This is not a test of how much you know. You will be marked on how well you express your understanding of the article, not on what you understand or don't understand.
  2. Problem 2 (3 Points)
