Since there are a lot of questions about the differences between the various chips used in the IBM PC, IBM PC/XT, IBM PC/AT, IBM PS/2 and compatibles, this list, containing their CPUs and NPXs, has been compiled for the benefit of the net community. I hope it can answer some questions.

This list is the result of collecting many snippets of information from USENET News and data books. Furthermore, various contributors and others have helped to make this list to what it is today. Thank you all.

Any corrections, additions, or comments are welcome. Please reply by E-mail to:

SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) (Wang): contains a complete RAM bank. MAC SIMMs are only 8 bits wide; they don't contain a parity bit. However, there are Personal Computers around in which the RAM chips for parity checking are build-in on the motherboard, that need 8 bit SIMMs.

9-chip SIMM: 9 chips of 1 bit wide
8-chip SIMM: 8 chips of 1 bit wide (MAC)
3-chip SIMM: 2 chips of 4 bits wide and 1 chip of 1 bit wide or 3 chips of 3 bits wide
2-chip SIMM: 2 chips of 4 bits wide (MAC)

If the correct refresh is supplied SIMMs with a different number of chips and different speed can be used together.

SIP (Single In-line Package): contains a complete RAM bank.

The orientation of SIMMs and SIPs is indicated by a hole. Starting from this indication the numbering of the pins starts with number 1. Apart from the pins there is no difference at all between SIMMs and SIPs.

The normal SIMMs and SIPs have 30 pins/pads. There are also 36 pin SIMMs and SIPs. The extra pins are used for speed detection by the motherboard.

There are also 72 pin SIMMs. These are 32 bits and 4 parity bits wide. 4 pins are assigned for speed detection. They are mostly used in newer Personal Computers.

For a long time 0.6 micron geometries were thought to be a limit imposed by the electron microscopes used for mask alignment, but then the X-ray lithography was invented...

1.4 JEDEC (Joint Electronic Device Engeneering Council)

JEDEC was first know for their DIP definitions for memory chips.

JEDEC has suggested a new standard of 3.3 V for all electronic components, including . CPUs operating at 3.3 V consume less than 50 % of the power of their 5 V equivalents. Intel currently uses a manufacturing process with a resolution of 0.8 micron, but is starting production with a 0.6 micron process. This produces chips that can only operate reliably at 3.3 V, which means that all its future CPUs are likely to operate only at this lower voltage.

1.5 Manufacturers

1.5.1 Intel

The company was founded in 1968 by Gordon Moore, currently the chairman, and the late Bob Noyce. The original name was M & N Electronics, but was changed to Intel (Integrated Electronics). More information on the history of Intel can be found on WWW at:

http://web.jf.intel.com:80/about-intel/history/

Intel makes the base models:

i8086/i8088 , i80286, i80386, i80486, Pentium,
i8087, i80287, i80387.

iapx stands for Intel Advanced Processor architecture.

Intel lost its claim to the `386' and `486' trademarks, which is why the Pentium is not called the `586'.

Currently, Intel is fighting to protect its various patents and its copyright of the 386 and 486 microcode. The legal situation is complicated by various license agreements made by Intel in the past.

SMM (System Management Mode) can be used to manage the CPU's power demands. When a CPU enters SMM it saves its current state in a special memory area, SMRAM (System Management RAM) and then runs a program, also stored in in SMRAM, the SMM handler. Static core is necessary.
SMM is implemented in all Intel i...SL CPUs. In June 1993, Intel announced it was discontinuing its SL range and instead making all its current processors SL enhanced. Intel has also introduced an Auto Idle state for its clock doubled CPUs: the internal clock can be dropped down to the external clock speed while the processor is waiting for data, returning to full speed as soon as the data arrives.

In February 1994 Intel opened its $750,000,000 costing Fab 10 in Leixlip, Ireland. There the 0.6 micron CMOS Intel i80486DX4 P24C CPU and Intel Pentium CPU series are produced. In the future the Intel P6 CPU and Intel P7 CPU series will be produced here too.
Intel has agreed to invest $7,000,000,000 in Ireland over the next five years.

In June 1994 Intel and Hewlett-Packard agreed to develope a new 64 bit RISC CPU together (Intel P7 CPU / HP PA9000 CPU). The CPU will be based on the HP Precision Architecture (PA) and be able to emulate the Intel X86 architecture.
Together the both companies will invest $1,000,000,000 in the development of the new CPU. Intel faxback service: 1-800-628-2283.

1.5.2 AMD (Advanced Micro Devices)

AMD holds a second source license which dates back to the 8086. In the early days mainframe companies had a rule that no chip would be used in a design, unless it could be bought from at least two companies.

AMD invented a CMOS process that was faster than Intel's and vendors started using them as a primary source.

DEC will manufacture 486 chips for AMD, increasing AMD's production.

In October 1994 AMD Am486 CPUs for AMD in its 0.5 micron technology. The production of AMD Am486DX3 CPUs in Taiwan will start in the third quarter of 1994.

In January 1995 Intel and AMD cancelled all pending lawsuits against eachother. AMD can keep on using the 386 and 486 microcode, but not those of the later CPUs.

1.5.3 IBM (International Bussiness Machines)

Jack Kuehler, Armonk.

IBM's licensing arrangements with Intel preclude them from selling their CPUs directly. They can only sell these FPUs.

From September 1993 IBM is manufacturing the Cyrix 486 CPUs in their 0.5 micron CMOS technology. In the future they will also produce the Cyrix M1 CPU.

1.5.4 Chips & Technologies

George Taylor.
Founded in 1984 by Gordon Campbell.

Chips & Technologies has dropped its development of X86 clones.

1.5.5 Cyrix

Cyrix implemented the chips they wanted to manufacture from the specifications of the originals (clean room). They had Texas Instruments produce these chips for them. A certain number is going to Cyrix to be resold, and the rest is sold by Texas Instruments directly.

From September 1993 IBM is manufacturing the Cyrix 486 CPUs and in the future they will also produce the Cyrix M1 CPU.
Currently Cyrix has stopped producing any 486 CPUs, awaiting pending lawsuits.

Cyrix fax-bak service: 1-800-46-CYRIX (1-800-462-9749).

1.5.6 Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments used to be Cyrix's major producer (SGS-Thomson is the other one). Recently, Texas Instruments stopped producing chips for Cyrix and now make their own chips under license from Cyrix. Texas Instruments has rights to make modifications to these chips.

1.5.9 Apple

2.35 Intel Overdrive CPU for Intel i80486 CPU

Many486 CPU motherboards contain an Intel Overdrive socket in which a more powerful CPU can be placed (ODP: OverDrive Processor), this being an Intel i80486DX2 CPU or an Intel Pentium CPU. It is possible to remove the old CPU while upgrading. All output pins of the original CPU are put in 3-state and the power consumption is reduced when the UP# pin (Upgrade Present) is activated.

An Intel Overdrive CPU will be made available that will fit in the original PGA (Pin Grid Array) (ODPR: OverDrive Processor Replacement), so motherboards without an Intel Overdrive socket can be upgraded too.

At this moment it is still unsure if all motherboards with an Intel Overdrive socket can indeed be upgraded to an Intel Pentium CPU. The Intel Pentium P24T CPU (ODP), the Intel Pentium CPU upgrade for the blue 238 pin PGA Overdrive socket, appears to produce too much heat for most thermally not compliant systems. It is not even sure if there will ever be an Intel Pentium CPU upgrade for those motherboards at all. For the newer motherboards with a white 237 pin PGA Overdrive socket, that do satisfy the heat specifications, there will be an Intel Pentium CPU at 3,3 V with a ventilator on the IC. There are also black Overdrive sockets around.
