The Tualatin was Intel's last line of Pentium 3 processors. It ran at 1-1.4 GHz and was made at 0.13µ. Initially it came with 512 kilobytes of cache, this made it form a thread to Intel's new Pentium 4 processor. Because of this thread Intel reduced the cache to 256 KB and removed dual processor capabilities. A version with this capability and with 512 KB did still exist for the high end workstation and server market, these models came at a higher price though. Being the successor to the Pentium 3 Coppermine it used socket 370, it came in a FCPGA2 package though, making it incompatible with existing boards. Tualatin boards were capable of running Coppermines however.

When the Pentium 4 took over the desktop market it wasn't the end for the Tualatin, based on its architecture a new mobile chip arised. This chip was the well known Banias chip which was used in the Centrino platform. When the Netburst ship began to sink Intel developed this platform further which resulted in Conroe.
