Line 83: == Pentium processor == Intel's [[Pentium]] microprocessor uses a radix-8 variant of Booth's algorithm in its 64-bit multiplier. Because of the way it isimplements ~~implemented~~the radix-8 multiplication, it needs a complex special-case auxiliary circuit to perform multiplication by 3 in a way that minimizes latency.<ref>{{Cite web \|first=Ken\|last=Shirriff\|title=The Pentium contains a complicated circuit to multiply by three \|url=https://www.righto.com/2025/03/pentium-multiplier-adder-reverse-engineered.html \|access-date=2025-03-03\|website=righto.com}}</ref> == See also ==
