This was a 250 MB hard drive in 1979:
In 1995, Intel released the Pentium Pro processor, a turning point in micro-architecture, especially for business servers and high-end workstations.
Built using a P6 micro architecture, it introduced out-of-order execution, speculative branching, and advanced pipelining... concepts that now underpin modern CPUs. It even used separate L2 cache on a daughter die bonded inside the same package (early multi-chip module style).
Sure, it ran a bit hot, but it made Windows NT feel like it could finally get its act together.
