- >1) The CYRIX "486" is really 100% compatible whit INTEL 486 ?
-
- No. It is pin compatible with the 386. It does not give you the upgrade
- path that an Intel 486 does.
-
- >2) Is it true that it hasn't the coprocessor inside of it ?
-
- It has no coprocessor in it.
-
- >3) Is it true taht it has 1kB internal Cache ?
-
- I believe it only has a 1 kb internal cache.
-
- >4) Is it far better than a 386 40 mhz ?
-
- Not sure about this one. I believe it is, though.
-
- >5) What is there inside the cpu ?(block diagram available ?) Is it the same of a 486 sx ?
-
- I don't have a block diagram. It is not the same as the 486SX, though.

- I wish my Italian were as good as your English!
- Good luck!
