It's a 32bit 48Mhz CPU, clocked to 90Mhz. I used to run a major EFnet server on Linux on a 25Mhz 386 in about 1996.
If you'd given me this business card in the mid-90s, it would have been useable as my primary desktop.

- mmoskal 2y agoIt's software emulated though. The actual speed is equivalent to around 1MHz. Intrestingly the tiny Cortex M0+ is has about 4x the coremark per MHz of 386 (and twice 486). See https://www.eembc.org/coremark/scores.php https://www.eembc.org/coremark/scores.php and https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/coremark-mhz https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/coremark-mhz

- qingcharles 2y agoAh, that's the one I remember. That's wild. People mention they bought that CPU for 60 cents. That was five years ago. I think I'd maxed my 386 server out with 8MB of RAM. That chip is the stuff of a madman's dreams in 1996.
