Since there are a lot of questions about the differences between the various
chips used in the IBM PC, IBM PC/XT, IBM PC/AT, IBM PS/2 and compatibles, this
list, containing their CPU's and NPX's, has been compiled for the benefit of
the net community. I hope it can answer some questions.
This list is the result of collecting many snippets of information from
Usenet and data books, and from information of various contributors of course.
Any corrections, additions, or comments are welcome. Please reply by E-mail
to:
offerman@einstein.et.tudelft.nl.

1 Introduction
1.1 Identification
Manufacturer: name and/or logo.
Part number.
Revision number, step level.
Date: often the week number and the year of manufacturing.
Memory chips: capacity: 64, 256 kbit,
1, 4, 16 Mbit,
speed: 10 15, 20, 40, 60, 70, 80, 100, 120, 150 ns.
Orientation: indicated by a hole or a dot; from this indication the pin
numbering starts contra clock-wise with number 1.
For microprocessors at boot the chip mask revision number is often left in one
of the control registers.
1.2 Packages
DIP (Dual In-line Package): o o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o o
CERDIP (CERamic Dual In-line Package).
PQFP (Plastic Quad Flat Package): surface mounted.
SQFP (Shrink Quad Flat Package): surface mounted, thermally enhanced.
PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier).
PGA (Pin Grid Array): o o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o o
o o o o
o o o o
o o o o
o o o o
o o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o o
ZIP (Zigzag In-line Package): o o o o o o o o
o o o o o o o o
SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) (Wang): contains a complete RAM bank.
MAC SIMM's are only 8 bits wide; they don't contain a parity bit.
However, there are Personal Computers around in which the RAM chips for parity
checking are build-in on the motherboard, that need 8 bit SIMM's.
9-chip SIMM: 9 chips of 1 bit wide
8-chip SIMM: 8 chips of 1 bit wide (MAC)
3-chip SIMM: 2 chips of 4 bits wide and 1 chip of 1 bit wide
2-chip SIMM: 2 chips of 4 bits wide (MAC)
If the correct refresh is supplied SIMM's with a different number of chips and
different speed can be used together.
SIP (Single In-line Package): contains a complete RAM bank.
The orientation of SIMM's and SIP's is indicated by a hole. Starting from this
indication the numbering of the pins starts with number 1. Apart from the pins
there is no difference at all between SIMM's and SIP's.
The normal SIMM's and SIP's have 30 pins/pads. There are also 36 pin SIMM's
and
SIP's. The extra pins are used for speed detection by the motherboard.
There are also 72 pin SIMM's. These are 32 bits and 4 parity bits wide. 4 pins
are assigned for speed detection. They are mostly used in Personal Computers
with an EISA bus (Extended Industry Standard Architecture).
Capacity: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 Mwords.
1.3 Semiconductor processes
RTL (Resistor-Transistor Logic): SSI (Small Scale Integration).
DTL (Diode-Transistor Logic): SSI (Small Scale Integration).
TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) (Texas Instruments, 1965): bipolair,
SSI, MSI (Medium Scale Integration), LSI (Large Scale Integration).
7400 series: 0 - 70 C.
5400 series: -55 - 125 C (military).
5400, 7400: 10 ns propagation time,
54L00, 74L00: Low power: higher resistances, less dissipation: longer
propagation time,
54H00, 74H00: High power: lower resistances, more dissipation: less
sensitivity for noise,

to prevent the transistors from saturation,
54LS00, 74LS00: Low power, Schottky-clamped,
54AS00, 74AS00: Advanced Schottky: faster switching, less dissipation,
54ALS00, 74ALS00: Advanced Low power Schottky.
I2L (Integrated Injection Logic) (1972): bipolair,
LSI, VLSI.

Speed-power: 0.5 pJ.
ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic, Current Mode Logic): bipolair.
Propagation time: 0.5 - 2 ns.
Dissipation: 3 - 10 times higher than TTL.
MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor): FET (Field-Effect Transistors).
Maximum frequency: 25 MHz.
low-capacitance (CMOS-SOS (Silicon On Sapphire)): 100 MHz.
PMOS: LSI, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration).
NMOS: LSI, VLSI.
HMOS: LSI, VLSI.
CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor): LSI, VLSI, ULSI (Ultra Large
Scale Integration).
1.4 VESA Local Bus (VLB)
The original VESA Local Bus was designed to work with CPU's using the
Intel i80386DX CPU, Intel i80486DX CPU and Intel i80486SX CPU pinout (32 bit
data bus), running up to 40 MHz. There are also Pentium motherboards with
VESA Local Bus compatible slots.
A new version of the VESA Local Bus specification was released in 1993.
1.5 SMM (System Management Mode)
SMM can be used to manage the CPU's power demands. When a CPU enters SMM it
saves its current state in a special memory area, SMRAM (System Management
RAM) and then runs a program, also stored in in SMRAM, the SMM handler. Static
core is necessary.
SMM is implemented in all Intel i...SL CPU's. In June 1993, Intel announced
it was discontinuing its SL range and instead making all its current
processors SL enhanced. Intel has also introduced an Auto Idle state for its
clock doubled CPU's: the internal clock can be dropped down to the external
clock speed while the processor is waiting for data, returning to full speed
as soon as the data arrives.
1.6 JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device Engeneering Council)
JEDEC has suggested a new standard of 3.3 V for all electronic components,
including CPU's. CPU's operating at 3.3 V comsume less than 50 % of the power
of their 5 V equivalents. Intel currently uses a manufacturing process with a
resolution of 0.8 micron, but is starting production with a 0.6 micron
process. This produces chips that can only operate reliably at 3.3 V, which
means that all its future CPU's are likely to operate only at this lower
voltage.
1.7 Manufacturers
1.7.1 Intel
Intel makes the base models: i8086/i8088, i80286, i80386, i80486, Pentium,
i8087, i80287, i80387.
Intel lost its claim to the '386' and '486' trademarks, which is why the
Pentium is not called the '586'.
Currently, Intel is fighting to protect its various patents and its copyright
of the 386 and 486 microcode. The legal situation is complicated by various
license agreements made by Intel in the past.
Intel just opened its $750,000,000 costing Fab 10 in Leixlip, Ireland. There
the 0.6 micron CMOS Intel i80486DX4 CPU and Intel Pentium CPU series are
produced. In the future the Intel P6 CPU and Intel P7 CPU series will be
produced here too.
Intel has agreed to invest $7,000,000,000 in Ireland over the next five years.
1.7.2 AMD
AMD holds a second source license which dates back to the 8086. In the early
days mainframe companies had a rule that no chip would be used in a design,
unless it could be bought from at least two companies.
AMD invented a CMOS process that was faster than Intel's and vendors started
using them as a primary source.
In the future DEC will manufacture 486 chips for AMD, increasing AMD's
production.
1.7.3 IBM (International Bussiness Machines)
IBM's licensing arrangements with Intel preclude them from selling their CPU's
directly. They can only sell these CPU's as long as they are sold with a
minimum amount of 'added value'.
IBM is not allowed to produce any FPU's.
From September 1993 IBM is manufacturing the Cyrix 486 CPU's in their
0.5 micron CMOS technology. In the future they will also produce the
Cyrix M1 CPU.
1.7.4 Chips & Technologies
Chips & Technologies has dropped its development of X86 clones.
1.7.5 Cyrix
Cyrix implemented the chips they wanted to manufacture from the specifications
of the originals (clean room). They had Texas Instruments produce these chips
for them. A certain number is going to Cyrix to be resold, and the rest is
sold by Texas Instruments directly.
From September 1993 IBM is manufacturing the Cyrix 486 CPU's and in the future
they will also produce the Cyrix M1 CPU.
Currently Cyrix has stopped producing any 486 CPU's, awaiting pending
lawsuits.
1.7.6 Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments used to be Cyrix's major producer (SGS-Thomson is the other
one). Recently, Texas Instruments stopped producing chips for Cyrix and now
make their own chips under license from Cyrix. Texas Instruments has rights to
make modifications to these chips.

2.32 Intel Overdrive CPU for Intel i80486 CPU
Many 486 CPU motherboards contain an Intel Overdrive socket in which a more
powerful CPU can be placed (ODP: OverDrive Processor), this being an
Intel i80486DX2 CPU or an Intel Pentium CPU. It is possible to remove the old
CPU while upgrading. All output pins of the original CPU are put in 3-state
and the power consumption is reduced when the UP# pin (Upgrade Present) is
activated.
An Intel Overdrive CPU will be made available that will fit in the original
PGA (ODPR: OverDrive Processor Replacement), so motherboards without an
Intel Overdrive socket can be upgraded too.
At this moment it is still unsure if all motherboards with an
Intel Overdrive socket can indeed be upgraded to an Intel Pentium CPU. The
Intel P24T CPU, the Intel Pentium CPU upgrade for the blue 238 pin PGA
Overdrive socket, apears to produce too much heat for most thermally not
compliant systems. It is not even sure if there will ever be an
Intel Pentium CPU upgrade for those motherboards at all. For the newer
motherboards with a white 237 pin PGA Overdrive socket, that do satisfy the
heat specifications, there will be an Intel Pentium CPU at 3,3 V with a
ventilator on the IC.
