The 386 maybe, but the 286 was already completed by the time the IBM PC launched if not before.

The 386 maybe, but the 286 was already completed by the time the IBM PC launched if not before.
- kjs3 3y agoThe IBM PC launched in mid 1981, which means the 8088 was fixed in the design at least, what, a year before if not more? The 286 shipped in 1984. Are you saying the 286 was a completed design in, say, 82-83, or that Intel was saying "this is what we think the 286 will look like" in that timeframe?
