Welcome to the FIFTH post of the #Timeline series by @danishmmir. In this post we will be looking at the different inventions and innovations that happened in microprocessor technology.
For those who have missed upon my previous posts, here is a list of all my previous posts in #Timeline series ordered chronologically. Stay tuned to my #Timeline tag and give me a follow up to support this minnow if you like it.
All The Previous Posts Chronologically
The Timeline Series - #2 - Computers (From Electronic to Quantum) - Part-II
The Timeline Series - #3 - Computer Memory (From MEGAs through GIGAs to EXAs)

:::.Pentium Pro.:::
In November 1995, Intel introduces Pentium Pro processors.
||1996||
:::.AMD-K5.:::
On March 27, 1996 AMD introduced the K5 processor with speeds ranging from 75MHz to 133MHz. It allowed the bus speeds of 50MHz, 60MHz or 66MHz. It is the first completely in-house developed processor by AMD.
In the same year on January 4, Intel announced availability of Pentium with clocks of 150MHz with 60MHz bus and 166MHz with 66MHz bus
