==Available models== Pentium Pro clock speeds were 150, 166, 180 or 200 MHz with a 60 or 66 MHz [[Front-side bus|external bus]] clock. A prototype 133 MHz Pentium Pro was developed in its earliest stages of development but was never released. Some users chose to [[overclock]] their Pentium Pro chips, with the 200 MHz version often being run at 233 MHz, the 180 MHz version often being run at 200 MHz, and the 150 MHz version often being run at 166 MHz. The chip was popular in [[symmetric multiprocessing]] configurations, with dual and quad SMP server and workstation setups being commonplace. Intel skipped out on providing a [[mobile processor|mobile]] version of the original Pentium Pro due to power draw and heat concerns.<ref>{{cite journal |last=April |first=Carolyn A. |date=December 16, 1996 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FjoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14 |title=Intel postpones Pentium Pro notebook drive |journal=InfoWorld |publisher=IDG Publications |volume=18 |issue=51 |page=14 |via=Google Books |access-date=June 2, 2023 |archive-date=June 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230602182102/https://books.google.com/books?id=FjoEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA14 |url-status=live }}</ref> At least one vendor sold a [[portable computer]] with a Pentium Pro (Imperial Computer's 6200TLP).<ref>{{cite journal |last=O'Brien |first=Bill |date=November 1996 |url=https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A18794682/GPS?sid=wikipedia |title=Pentium Pro built to go |journal=Computer Shopper |publisher=SX2 Media Labs |volume=16 |issue=11 |page=420 |via=Gale}}</ref> In Intel's "Family/Model/Stepping" scheme, the Pentium Pro is family 6, model 1, and its Intel Product code is 80521. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
