    No, the Pentium II is basically a Pentium Pro. Excluding the x86 ISA and the fact that they both (as are all modern microprocessors) are superscalar the PPro has nothing in common with the original Pentium.

    If you read up on the PPro architecture you will find that it is, though perhaps ancient, quiet clever and innovating. Also, it was designed in-house without ex-DEC engineers.
