What IC 80386 is?

The 80386 was a third generation version of the 8086/8088 microprocessor. The second generation was the 80286, adding protected mode. The 80386 added 32 bit mode, virtual 8086 mode, and flat 32 bit protected mode.

The 80386 fixed the problem of the 80286 where existing object code was not compatible in protected mode because the meaning of the segment registers changed. The 80386 allowed the operating system to run in protected mode while presenting the process with a virtual 8086 environment where the segment registers worked as before. This was a stop-gap measure that worked until the full implementation of a true 32 bit flat memory model operating system and software.

What advantage is there to using algebraic equations instead of numerical values when defining the dimensions of a CAD models?

Let's say you wanted to design a series of boxes that could nest inside each other. Instead of specifying the height, width and length of each box, you could define them by saying the length was 3x the height, and the width was 2x the height. Then, you would only need to specify the heights of the boxes and the software could figure out the rest.

This is a really simplified example, but the principle can be applied to more complex designs. For example, a door manufacturer offers a specific model of door in multiple heights and widths. But the plans for building a door can have all elements defined by specifying a height and a width, with the rest of the design (lengths of stiles, rails, panel sizes, etc.) calculated from those basic dimensions.
