The Intel 386, originally released as the 80386 and later renamed i386, is the third-generation x86 architecture microprocessor from Intel. It was the first 32-bit processor in the line, making it a significant evolution in the x86 architecture. Pre-production samples of the 386 were released to select developers in 1985, while mass production ...
It is the fastest IBM PC compatible that InfoWorld had reviewed up to that point, in November 1987. [ 23 ] In 1988, the company released the Deskpro 386/25 and the Deskpro 386S—the former based on the 25-MHz 386 and the latter based on Intel's lower-cost 386SX chip, which features a 16-bit data bus instead of a 32-bit one.
IA-32 (short for "Intel Architecture, 32-bit", commonly called i386 [1] [2]) [3] is the 32-bit version of the x86 instruction set architecture, designed by Intel and first implemented in the 80386 microprocessor in 1985.
first x86 processor; initially a temporary substitute for the iAPX 432 to compete with Motorola, Zilog, and National Semiconductor and to top the successful Z80. The 8088 version, with an 8-bit bus, was used in the original IBM Personal Computer. 186 included a DMA controller, interrupt controller, timers, and chip select logic. A small number ...

Compaq Deskpro motherboard (1997) with Pentium II processor and three different slot types (AGP for graphics adapter, three PCI and three ISA slots for legacy cards) Compaq Deskpro Evo motherboard (2001) with Pentium 4 processor (hidden by cooler ...
The family comprised the Intel Inboard 386/AT and Intel Inboard 386/PC, which allowed users to upgrade an IBM AT or an IBM PC (or compatible) respectively. The boards allowed users to upgrade their machines' CPU to a 16 MHz 80386 processor. Both variants utilized a ribbon cable which plugged into the computer's original CPU socket on one end ...
The Personal System/2 Model 70 386 and Personal System/2 Model 70 486 are midrange desktop computers in IBM's Personal System/2 (PS/2) family of personal computers. The PS/2 Model 70 386, released in June 1988, features an Intel 386 microprocessor clocked between 16 MHz and 25 MHz (depending on the submodel) and features the 32-bit Micro Channel architecture (MCA) bus; the Model 70 486 ...
