Nope. Connection Machines were made by Thinking Machines, Inc., and they
don't use Pentiums. They use gobs (up to something like 16k) of
proprietary processors.
I'm vaguely remembering something about what chip that was, but now I can't
remember what it was called. Ah, would that have been the "transputer",
maybe?
I also recall an article in Byte, way back when.

I seem
to recall a supercomputer made by Intel that used Pentiums. I
forget the name though, but it was quite a behemoth of a machine from
what little I recall (many CPUs).
Wasn't that "The Connection Machine"?
