What is the difference between the Intel 80286 and the Intel 80386?
Comparison between micro processor Intel and Motorola
What is the precursor of today's Pentium family of chips?
The 80386 Intel chip
What has the author Ross P Nelson written?
Ross P. Nelson has written: 'Microsoft's 80386/80486 programming guide' -- subject(s): Assembler language (Computer program language), Intel 80386 (Microprocessor), Intel 80486 (Microprocessor), Programming
Which group of Intel processors uses a 32-bit word size and a 64 bit word size?
Which group of Intel processors uses a 32-bit word size and a 64 bit word size?
Windows does not run on an Intel microprocessor?
Windows does run on an Intel processor. It just does not run on an 8085. It requires an 8086/8088 (Windows 3.1) or 80386 (Higher versions) to run.
Word size of an Intel CPU?
It's over 9000!
What is the model i386 referring to?
"i386" refers to the Intel 80386, a 32-bit microprocessor released in 1985. Intel ceased producing them in 2007, as modern CPU technology has progressed much farther.
What is the word size of intel dual core processors?
32 bit
The virtual memory addressing capability of 80386 is?
NONE! The 80186 was an advanced version of the 8086 but did not include support for virtual memory. It had a 64K physical address space. The 80286 was the first Intel CPU to support virtual memory but it's capabilities were limited.
What was Intel's first microprocessor?
The 4004 was Intel's first microprocessor and the world's first single chip microprocessor. For the first PC as we know it (the 1981 IBM PC), it was the 8088, following with 80286, 80386, 80486 and then the Pentium line.
What is the history of AMD microprocessor?
AMD was a major supplier of various integrated circuits: logic, DRAM, the 2900 family bitslice bipolar microprocessor chipset, etc. However they lacked a single chip MOS microprocessor like those made by Intel, Motorola, Zilog, Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, etc. When Intel encountered a problem meeting demand for their 80386 single chip MOS microprocessor they sought out another chip manufacturer with available fabrication facilities. At the time AMD had surplus fabrication facilities and Intel and AMD quickly reach an agreement where Intel would provide AMD with the masks and other manufacturing details for the 80386 and AMD would licence some of their patents to Intel. The two companies would then share the market and sales of the 80386. When Intel designed their 80486 single chip MOS microprocessor, they had already expanded their fabrication facilities enough that they would not need help from AMD to make enough 80486 microprocessors to meet demand. However AMD expected that the original 80386 agreement demanded Intel provide masks and other manufacturing details for successive Intel designed microprocessors (beginning with the 80486). Intel refused and the case went to court. Meanwhile AMD began designing an 80486 microprocessor clone on their own. Intel claimed in the court case that AMD could not do that as 80486 was a trademark, but the court pointed out that trademark law does not permit trademarking of numbers. This allowed both Intel and AMD to manufacture, market, and sell their own independently designed versions of the 80486 microprocessor. When Intel designed their 80586 single chip MOS microprocessor, because of the court decision that numbers could not be trademarked Intel chose to use a word which could be trademarked instead of 80586 and (somewhat unimaginatively) made up the word Pentium for the 80586. Of course AMD designed their own 80586 clone independently (as they had done with the 80486) and made up their own word as a trademark for it. Ever since then when Intel has enhanced the x86/Pentium architecture, AMD has independently designed a clone supporting the new architectural features. However AMD has their own implementation ideas to improve and optimize performance, so sometimes the Intel microprocessors have had better performance and other times the AMD microprocessors have had the better performance.
What is the architecture of an Intel CPU called?
Intel has actually manufactured several incompatible architectures. The 4004, 8008, and 8080 are all incompatible. The 8086, 8088, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium (II, III, 4), and Core (2) are all backwards-compatible processors classified as "x86." Intel also created the i860 and IA-64 (Itanium) architectures.
