музей компьютеров Amd 486 I bought a bunch of 486 cpus on ebay and discovered some very interesting behavior from two of them. these cpus are not at all what they appear to be. I got some very curious results from both an amd dx2 66 and an amd dx4 100. i managed a very impressive 142% overclock on the late model dx2 66, with a 2x multiplier an an 80mhz front side bus. this was a personal best for me when it comes to overclocking. hitting 100% is a very impressive feat, but 142% is really something!.
Amd Am486 Am5x86 Cpu Museum Museum Of Microprocessors Die The most modern 486 586 cpus hide in various industrial control pcs. there is a plethora of 486 pc on a chip ics that include all the peripherals and cpu on a single chip. they mostly come in pc 104 form factor, so they are quite expensive (all mine are pulled from recycling). These processors were based on the latest 486 cores by amd and intel, which included write back l1 support. amd even stopped selling processors with 8k l1 cache and started selling "486" processors using the 5x86 core with 16kb l1 cache. Umc’s 486 vs amd amd had its own fabrication plants, and they also had access to intel’s microcode. amd had been an authorized second source for intel x86 cpus up until the 286 days. after intel cut them off, amd was able to use its existing relationship to maintain access to intel’s 386 and 486 microcode. the result was that an amd 486 performed almost identically to an intel 486 as. The amd 5x86 (not "586") pulled the same trick against the standard 486 processors as the intel did with the pentium mmx (p55c) compared to the pentium (p54c): they doubled l1 cache size, which resulted in 10 to 20 percent higher ipc for "typical software of that era".

The 486 class amd 5x86 is a 4.0x multiplier (33x4.0=133), but the motherboard should be set to a 2.0x multiplier. the processor will interpret the 2.0x multiplier as 4.0x, and run at its correct speed. Amd originally called these cpu “am486plus”. they’re quite rare and usually marked with the sv8t suffix. amd produced them for 3 months (may july 1995) before switching to the 25398 package that supports smi and write back cache. 25398 – the third gen package, only used with c stepping from mid 95 to mid 96.
