IntelDX4
Essentially an {Intel 486DX} {microprocessor} with
a 16 kilobyte on-chip {cache}.
The DX4 is the fastest member of the {Intel 486} family. 75
and 100MHz versions are available. At an iCOMP index rating
of 435, the 100 MHz DX4 performs up to 50% faster than the 66
MHz {Intel DX2}. The DX4's {clock multiplier} allows the
processor to run three times faster than the {system clock}.
This performance is achieved in part by a 16K on-chip {cache}
(double that of the other 486s). The DX4 has an integrated
{floating point unit}.
Like the other 486s, the DX4 achieves performance through a
{RISC} integer core that executes frequently used instructions
in a single {clock cycle} (the {Pentium}'s can execute
multiple instructions in a single clock cycle).
Low power consumption has been achieved with {SL} Technology
and a 0.6 micron manufacturing process, giving 1.6 million
{transistor}s on a single chip operating at only 3.3 Volts.
"IntelDX4" is the entire name, the "486" has been dropped and
I am assured that there is no space in the same.
