Talk:Intel DX2

Quake did not require Pentiums...

I removed "(e.g. Quake)" regarding Pentium requirements because it runs on 486 processors. I still have an old 486, and it has Quake on it. It runs like #$%@ but it works. 24.107.65.240 (talk) 05:33, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First chip to use clock doubling

"It was the first chip to use clock doubling, whereby the processor runs two internal logic clock cycles per external bus cycle". From Atari TT page: "To make the system work with a 32 MHz 68030, Atari Corp. had to scale back their plans somewhat, and add a large amount of cache to the system. As a result, the processor runs at 32 MHz, while the system bus runs at 16 MHz. This is similar to the tactic employed by Apple with the ill-fated Macintosh IIvx and later employed by makers of PCs with an Intel 80486DX2 CPU." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calimero (talk • contribs) 07:53, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Intel DX2 to Intel486 DX2 Title Changes

Is it possible to have the tile change from Intel DX2 to Intel486 DX2 to provided clarity of the subject here? Rjluna2 (talk) 17:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rjluna2: I personally would agree that Intel DX2 is vague and should make it clear it's a 486 microprocessor. Though becuase there were 3 previous page move / title renaming Special:Diff/1022098486, Special:Diff/550261250 & Special:Diff/547822147 (that 547822147 (Intel i486DX2) seemed more apt), if I were to decide I would start a renaming discussion via Template:Requested move before renaming/moving the page. --- Cat12zu3 (talk) 18:30, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure which nomenclature should be implemented yet. I'm still going through Intel's Microcomputer Solutions periodical to apply important articles to this site. In the next few issues will come across my lap to work on it, I'll let you know about it. Rjluna2 (talk) 11:54, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Intel advertised as 'Intel486 DX2' according to the May/June 1992 issue of Intel Microcomputer Solution publication. I will add the necessary information at the main page. Rjluna2 (talk) 19:41, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
