Pentium MMX exerpts from the Intel website:
----------
On January 7, 1999 Intel introduced the 300MHz mobile Pentium® processor with MMX™ technology, joining Intel's family of processors utilizing our 0.25 micron process. This process, which made its debut on the 200MHz and 233MHz mobile Pentium processors with MMX technology, represents Intel's continuing commitment to developing power-efficient processors for mobile PCs. The mobile Pentium processor with MMX technology enables higher quality and performance for graphics, video, and audio. <snip>
The entire mobile Pentium processor family contains innovative power management and thermal characteristics. At the core of Intel's power management for extended battery life is Intel System Management Mode (ISMM). This maximizes energy savings by facilitating the slowdown, suspension, or complete shutdown of various system components. Using Intel's 0.25 micron process, the newest 300MHz, 266MHz, 233MHz, 200MHz, and 166MHz mobile computers are able to further reduce power consumption. <snip>
