- Does anyone have (or know about) an exhaustive list of the current
- 386/486 CPU chips being sold by various manufacturers. I'm interested
- in Maker, Model, and short description of chips, i.e.
-
- Intel 386SX (16,20,25mhz) : 16 bit datapath, like the 286. (16mb limit???)
- Intel 386DX (16,20,25,33) : 32 bit internal/external addressing (4gb limit)
- Intel 486SX (20,25,33) : on-board 8K cache, no FPU, used w/overdrive
- Intel 486DX (20,25,33,..) : w/FPU
- Intel 486DX2 (25/50,33/60 coming) : Internal processing at twice external
- : IS IT THE SAME AS OVERDRIVE???? (not?)
-
- Intel OverDrive : goes in compatibility slot of 486SX boxes, provides same
- : function as DX2
-
- IBM 386SLC (???mhz) : provides power-management features esp. for laptops
- : I think they also have a 486SLC
- : I think my memory is severely screwed on this one :-)
-
-
- Cyrix 486SLC : 1K cache, 486 instruction set, 16 bit external datapath
- : somewhere between 386 -> 486
-
- More IBM chips.....
- More Cyrix chips....
- AMD 386 (16,20,25,33,40)
- IIT (I think they just do FPU's, right?)
- C&T : I heard they got out of the business
-
-
- I'd like this information for an article I intend to write in the campus
- computer newsletter, and will post it here as well. I'm not interested
- in FPU chips, as that subject was more than adequately covered in recent
- posts.
