- Right you are! In the December 92 issue of Byte magazine there is an
- article on head to head comparisons between various CPU's including
- the Intel 486SX/25 and the AMD 386/40. In virtually all the benchmarks,
- the AMD was right at or just a hair below the performance level of a
- 486SX/25. I would imagine the 486SX/33 would be considerably faster
- than the AMD because of the faster clock rate.
