IBM then chose 8088 for its PC but there were competitors
like NEC which has plug compatible chips(V20, V30, V40) to
boost the performance, very much like Cyrix, AMD today.

I bought the NEC-V20 but it locked up running certain games so I reinstalled my 8088-4.77 MHz. I think I actually have it in the plastic static tube in a drawer next to my computer in case someone wants to pay the Big Bucks for obsolete technology (please reply to this messages if you are so foolish...).
