AltaVista was a web search engine established in 1995. It became one of the most-used early search engines, but lost ground to Google and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, which retained the brand, but based all AltaVista searches on its own search engine. On July 8, 2013, the service was shut down by Yahoo!, and since then the domain has redirected to Yahoo!'s own search site.

SmartMedia is an obsolete flash memory card standard owned by Toshiba, with capacities ranging from 0.5 MB to 128 MB. The format mostly saw application in the early 2000s in digital cameras and audio production. SmartMedia memory cards are no longer manufactured.

The BeBox is a discontinued workstation from Be Inc., running the company's operating system, later named BeOS. It has two PowerPC CPUs, its I/O board has a custom "GeekPort", and the front bezel has "Blinkenlights".

The Am5x86 processor is an x86-compatible CPU announced in November 1995 by AMD for use in 486-class computer systems. It began shipping in December 1995, with a base price of $93 per unit in bulk quantities. Before being released, it was in development under the codename "X5". Despite the 5x86 name, it is a 486 CPU, and does not implement 586 or Pentium instructions such as cmpxchg8b. It competed primarily with the Pentium OverDrive, which is a true 586 CPU with all 586 instructions.

GameShark is a brand of video game cheat devices originally developed for home and handheld consoles. Introduced in the mid-1990s, it became one of the most popular cheat platforms in North America, offering gamers the ability to modify game behavior using codes that alter memory addresses.

The NV1 was Nvidia's first graphics accelerator, introduced in May 1995 and released later that year as a multimedia PCI card. Manufactured by SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, sometimes under the model name STG2000, the chip was sold in retail by Diamond as the Diamond Edge 3D card. The NV1 stood out for its use of quadratic texture mapping, a departure from the triangular primitives favored by competitors. The use of quadratics made it possible to port games from the Sega Saturn; however, after the NV1 was introduced, Microsoft announced that DirectX would exclusively support triangle primitives

The UltraSPARC is a microprocessor developed by Sun Microsystems and fabricated by Texas Instruments, introduced in mid-1995. It is the first microprocessor from Sun to implement the 64-bit SPARC V9 instruction set architecture (ISA). Marc Tremblay was a co-microarchitect.

(MTI), then a division of Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI). The chief designers are Chris Rowen and Kenneth C. Yeager. The R10000 microarchitecture is known as ANDES, an abbreviation for Architecture with Non-sequential Dynamic Execution Scheduling. The R10000 largely replaces the R8000 in the high-end and the R4400 elsewhere. MTI was a fabless semiconductor company; the R10000 was fabricated by NEC and Toshiba. Pre

The TI-80 is a graphing calculator introduced by Texas Instruments in 1995 to be used at a middle school level (grades 6 to 8). It offered advanced capabilities that had previously only been available in high-end scientific calculators to students learning pre-algebra and algebra, and was designed to be affordable for schools.
