IntelDX4

   <processor> Essentially an {Intel 486DX} {microprocessor} with
   a 16 kilobyte on-chip {cache}.

   The DX4 is the fastest member of the {Intel 486} family.  75
   and 100MHz versions are available.  At an iCOMP index rating
   of 435, the 100 MHz DX4 performs up to 50% faster than the 66
   MHz {Intel DX2}.  The DX4's {clock multiplier} allows the
   processor to run three times faster than the {system clock}.
   This performance is achieved in part by a 16K on-chip {cache}
   (double that of the other 486s).  The DX4 has an integrated
   {floating point unit}.

   Like the other 486s, the DX4 achieves performance through a
   {RISC} integer core that executes frequently used instructions
   in a single {clock cycle} (the {Pentium}'s can execute
   multiple instructions in a single clock cycle).

   Low power consumption has been achieved with {SL} Technology
   and a 0.6 micron manufacturing process, giving 1.6 million
   {transistors} on a single chip operating at only 3.3 Volts.

   "IntelDX4" is the entire name, the "486" has been dropped and
   I am assured that there is no space in the same.
