 | | The Intel 80486 ( i486, 486) is a range of Intel CISC microprocessors which is part of the Intel x86 family of processors. | | | The main differences are that the 486 has an optimised instruction set, has an on-chip unified instruction and data cache, an optional on-chip floating-point unit (FPU), and an enhanced bus interface unit. | | | These improvements yield a rough doubling in performance over an Intel 80386 at the same clock rate. |

| Â | Intel cribbed x86-64 tech 'from AMD documents' The Register |
| | Intel developed its 64-bit extensions to the 32-bit x86 instruction set by "reading AMD's pre-release documentation", Microprocessor Report analyst Tom Halfhill has claimed. | | | He suggests these may be eliminated in future incarnations of Intel's x86-64 technology, and in any case, software can be easily coded to cope with both 64-bit architectures. | | | It also compared the memory-addressing schemes and many other architectural features, such as data-addressing modes, context-switching behavior, interrupt handling, and support for existing 16- and 32-bit x86 execution modes. |

| Â | Linux: AMD vs Intel "x86-64" |
| | As such, we believe developers will achieve maximum performance and stability by designing specifically for Intel architectures and by taking advantage of Intel's breadth of software tools and enabling services. | | | I read that Microsoft told intel they weren't going to support to x86 64 bit instruction sets and Microsoft also told intel they were already going with AMD. | | | I know there are people who have had access to the Intel docs for a while now, and obviously Intel is too frigging proud to list the differences explicitly. |

| | Different processors: The processor in the H/PC is unlikely to be an Intel x86 compatible chip and hence will not be able to understand the machine code instructions contained in the executable program. | | | In addition, the CPU can be one of several types and does not have to be Intel x86 compatible. | | | In fact, current H/PC's only use Hitachi SH, MIPS and StrongARM RISC processors, none of which are Intel x86 compatible. |

| Â | *CONFIRMED*: Intel and x86-64 |
| | We've known for a while that Intel was engaged in x86-64-related program activities, but now we can be certain this amounts to more than just the intention to someday possibly get together some kind of x86-64 hardware. | | | You don't get "there" overnight, which means that the work for an Intel x86-64 chip is already done. | | | Considering the fact that IBM and others are pushing ahead with plans for 32- and 64-way Xeon-based machines, I can't see such a move on Intel's part spelling anything but bad news for a potential mass-market IA-64 chip. |
