Twenty-five years ago (1983) was closer to the 80386 (1985), at 16 MHz,
although it still couldn't quite manage 4 MIPS, depending on the instruction
mix. The 8086 dates from 1978.


Who cares? What does this have to do with aviation and flying?

The 80386 wasn't released until 1986. 1983 was the 80286, the fastest
of which (12MHz version) released near the end of production in late
1985 was rated at 2.66 MIPS. The two production 1983 versions were .9
and 1.5MIPS.


Don't confuse him with facts. They only stand in the way of his fantasies.
