Amaya Toman May 17, 1943 became an important day for the American army. She then signed a contract with the University of Pennsylvania, and it was this contract that led to the start of the development of the ENIAC computer, which we will mention in today's article. In addition, the introduction of the Intel Pentium III Katmai processor will also be discussed.

Here Comes ENIAC (1943)
On May 17, 1943, a contract was signed between the US Army and the University of Pennsylvania. Based on the writing of this contract, the development of a computer named ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer) was subsequently started. The development of this machine took three years, and was originally intended for the army for the purpose of calculating artillery trajectory tables. The first ENIAC computer was equipped with 18 tubes and cost half a million dollars. It was a rather majestic machine that occupied an area of 63 square meters, the entrance and exit were provided by punched cards. The final shutdown of the ENIAC computer took place in the fall of 1955, its creators, among other things, were also responsible for the development UNIVAC computers.
Intel Pentium III Katmai Comes (1999)
On May 17, 199, Intel's Pentium III Katmai processor was introduced. The Pentium III Katmai was part of the product line of Pentium III processors with the x86 architecture. These processors resembled Pentium II components in some ways, with the difference of adding SSE instructions and introducing serial numbers that were built into the processor during the manufacturing process. The first processor of the Pentium III product line saw the light of day in the spring of 1999, the processors of this line were succeeded by the Pentium 4 processors with a different architecture.
