The VL-Bus operated at the same clock speed as the i486-bus (basically a local bus) while the PCI bus also usually depended on the i486 clock but sometimes had a divider setting available via the BIOS. This could be set to 1/1 or 1/2, sometimes even 2/3 (for 50 MHz CPU clocks).
A version of IntelDX4 featuring write-back cache was released in October 1994. The original write-through versions of the chip are marked with a laser-embossed “&E,” while the write-back-enabled versions are marked “&EW.” i486 OverDrive editions of IntelDX4 had locked multipliers, and therefore can only run at 3× the external clock speed.
The i486DX2 was nearly identical to the i486DX, but it had additional clock multiplier circuitry. It was the second CPU chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor runs two internal logic clock cycles per external bus cycle. An i486 DX2 was thus significantly faster than an i486 DX at the same bus speed thanks to the 8K on-chip cache ...
20 MHz FSB, 40 MHz clock speed. This version of the 20-MHz Overdrive (ODP) was available for the 16- and 20-MHz Intel486 SX CPU for USD $549. [3] 25 MHz FSB, 50 MHz clock speed. The 25-MHz OverDrive (ODP) version was available for USD $699. [4] 33 MHz FSB, 66 MHz clock speed; 25 MHz FSB, 75 MHz clock speed; 33 MHz FSB, 100 MHz clock speed
The i486SX was a microprocessor originally released by Intel in 1991. It was a modified Intel i486DX microprocessor with its floating-point unit (FPU) disabled. It was intended as a lower-cost CPU for use in low-end systems—selling for US$258—adapting the SX suffix of the earlier i386SX in order to connote a lower-cost option.
The SL was designed for use in mobile computers. It was produced between November 1992 and June 1993. Clock speeds available were 20, 25 and 33 MHz. The i486SL contained all features of the i486DX. In addition, the System Management Mode (SMM) (the same mode introduced with i386SL) was included with this processor. The system management mode ...
Regarding the comment "DX4 runs at triple the clock speed because DX3 (supposed to run at 2.5x the clock speed) never hit the market".. This is conjecture, and is absolutely false. The reason the DX4 was called such was due to the lawsuit in the mid 90s that decided that Intel could not use a number as a trademarked name.
The Pentium (also referred to as the i586 or P5 Pentium) is a microprocessor introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993. It is the first CPU using the Pentium brand. [3] [4] Considered the fifth generation in the x86 (8086) compatible line of processors, [5] succeeding the i486, its implementation and microarchitecture was internally called P5.
