Description
The Cyrix Cx486DX was designed to be completely software-compatible with Intel's i486DX processor. It is not just an Intel clone but a completely new design by Cyrix. Compared to the i486DX the Cx486DX had an improved cache algorithm and therefore was faster in specific applications. The price for a Cx486DX was a little lower than for Intel's 486DX and made the processor a very common i486DX alternative.
