Intel 80486DX2

The Intel 80486DX2 is a CPU produced by Intel that was introduced in 1992. The 80486DX2 is identical to a 80486DX but for the addition of "clock doubling" technology. It was the first chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor performs two clock cycles per single cycle of the memory bus. Essentially, the processor's speed is set to double of the speed of the system bus. Because of this, an Intel 80486DX2 is slower than an Intel 80486DX-based system at the same processor speed; a normal DX chip performs one processor clock cycle per system bus cycle (is aligned to the same speed as the system's bus).

Intel produced two 80486DX2 CPUs:

  • 50 MHz CPU for systems with a 25 MHz front side bus
  • 66 MHz CPU for systems with a 33 MHz front side bus

AMD also produced an 80MHz 'DX2' chip for systems with a 40MHz front side bus.

It is now standard practice for a CPU to perform more than one clock cycle per bus clock cycle.

Science kits, science lessons, science toys, maths toys, hobby kits, science games and books - these are some of many products that can help give your kid an edge in their science fair projects, and develop a tremendous interest in the study of science. When shopping for a science kit or other supplies, make sure that you carefully review the features and quality of the products. Compare prices by going to several online stores. Read product reviews online or refer to magazines.

Start by looking for your science kit review or science toy review. Compare prices but remember, Price $ is not everything. Quality does matter.
