Intel Pentium

Background
Pentium is a line of processors from Intel. The first Pentium was introduced in 1993, and was followed up with the Pentium II in 1997, the Pentium III in 1999 and the Pentium 4 in 2000. For a while, the Pentium processors were Intel's flagship line, until they were succeeded by the Intel Core line of processors. Nowadays, the current Pentiums have little to do with their predecessors and are considered "entry level" processors.

Logo (1994-2000)
Logo: Same as the 1994 Intel Inside logo, but as the swirls are merging, "pentium" in the corporate Intel logo font and " P R O C E S S O R " zoom out from the middle of the screen and places themselves below the Intel Inside logo.

Variants: Most commercials starting 1996 (and all MMX commercials) have an Intel URL at the bottom.

FX/SFX: The swirls merging and the text zooming effect, typical of 90s CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The trademark Intel "bong" jingle. Music/Sounds Variants: For the MMX commercials, an extra chime is played after the bong jingle.

Availability: Appears on almost all Pentium commercials from the time period.
