Manufacturer description
This is the latest revision of the 933s. Like all of my CPUs, it was pulled from a working system and is not from an untested recycled machine. Tested prior to being listed on my Tyan S1854 Trinity 400.
SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored Intel Pentium III SL4BT 933 MHz 256/133/1.7V Slot 1 CPU using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro cpus category. Intel's retro cpus lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.
Common buyer scenarios for retro cpus of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
