>Everyone new a AMD 486dx280 80Mhz was equal to a 486dx2 66Mhz Intel.< I didn't. According to what I read, the Am486DX and Am486DX2 processors were virtually identical in performance to the same clocked Intel originals. However, it did take a Cx486DX2-80 to match the integer performance of an i486DX2-66 or Am486DX2-66, while the Cx486DX2 was actually about 15% faster than the same clocked i486DX2/Am486DX2 for floating point performance. Additionally, the Am486DX4-100 was not as fast as an IntelDX4-100 because the Am486DX4-100 used an 8KB cache while the IntelDX4-100 used a 16KB cache.
