Pentium Processor System Architecture
Pentium Processor System Architecture describes the hardware architecture of computers using Intel's family of Pentium processors, providing a clear, concise explanation of the microprocessor's relationship to the rest of the system.
Written for computer hardware and software engineers, this book details Intel's technical strategy behind the Pentium family of processors - not just how Intel designed Pentium, but why. This revised edition expands coverage of virtually every topic and adds new sections on the Pentium 90 and 100MHz (P54C) processors. In addition to pointing out the key differences between 80486 and Pentium system designs, the book explores all the important Pentium features.

I'd read this cover to cover several times before I ever scrimped the money together to buy a Pentium machine. This was one crappy processor design; Intel was saved by later processors' pipelines and correspondingly higher clock rates...but that would also become their undoing (or annoying historical intertia, anyway).
