Pentium III.
Isn't it based on the P4 ? It uses the same quad pumped bus at the P4 and has SSE2 for instance. Both of those are lacking on the P3.

While it has some P4-like extensions, the P-M core is P6 not NetBurst. This is trivially deducible from various Intel documents, including the P-M spec update, the IA32 Volume3 manual, and the Code Optim manual. Also, CPUID reports family 6 not 15.
