- Certainly there is. One is made by AMD, the other is made by Intel.
- They both use the '386 instruction set, but is that the definition of a
- chip? Not entirely. Power factors, microcode implementation, features, etc,
- are among the differences. In fact, while compatibility was at the top
- of the list, I'm sure differentiation was one of AMD's top objectives. . . .

- > Is there a 386SLX too?

- Not that I know of.
