minus-squareatomicbocks@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·2 days agoI have a 486 DX4 that runs at 100mhz. It was faster than the contemporary Pentium that ran at 80mhz. Though this was one of the last 486s and later Pentiums hit higher speeds.
minus-squaredeadbeef79000@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 days agoI had that one too! It had a 25MHz bus and the processor quadrupled that to 100MHz in its turbo mode: hence the 4 in DX4. Either way, it certainly wasn’t a 486MHz CPU ;-)
