The AMD 80286 Processor
|
|
AMD started in the x86 business as a second-source manufacturer for Intel's chip designs. IBM demanded all suppliers have a second manufacturing source, and Intel had to license another company to secure the IBM PC contract. The AMD 80286 was a result of this contract.
The AMD 80286 was in reality Intel-designed all the way, pin and instruction compatible, based upon Intel's microcode.
