The Pentium Pro is a sixth-generation x86 architecture micro­processor by Intel originally intended to replace the original Pentium in a full range of applications, but later reduced to a narrower role as a server and high-end desktop chip. It was introduced using an enormous rectangular Socket 8 form factor in November 1995. Intel has discontinued it in favor of the newer high-end Xeon processor lines.

Despite the name, the Pentium Pro is actually quite different from Intel's earlier Pentium processor, being based on the then-new P6 core which in a modified form would later be used for the Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium M.

The Pentium Pro had a 256K-512K cache at introduction, with a 1 MB version introduced later. All versions of the chip were expensive, those with more than 256K being particularly so.

Following discussions of future product planning with Microsoft, Intel made the design decision to optimize the Pentium Pro for 32-bit code. In consequence it performed poorly on 16-bit code, and when Windows 95 turned out to be largely 16-bit, the Pro was not well positioned to compete in the desktop market. Introduced as a high-end server and workstation chip for the 32-bit Windows NT and UNIX operating systems, it was then destined to stay within that market rather than migrate onto the home desktop.

Intel filled the gap with an improvement to the older Pentium Classic design called the Pentium MMX.

The Pentium Pro clock speeds were 150,166, 200 MHz with a 60 or 66 MHz external bus clock.

The Pentium Pro was succeeded by the Pentium II, which was essentially a cost-reduced and re-branded Pentium Pro and enhanced 16-bit code performance.
