Description:
Color photograph of the 80286 microprocessor package. Clock speed: 6MHz (.9
MIPS) 10 MHz (1.5 MIPS) 12 MHz (2.66 MIPS). Transistor Count: 134,000. Chip Performance:
1.5 MIPS (millions of instructions per second). Circuit Line Size: 1.5 microns. Bus
Width: 16 bits. Addressable memory: 16 megabytes. Virtual memory: 1 gigabyte. The 286
microprocessor were built on 6-inch silicon wafers. The 286, also known as the 80286,
was the first Intel Processor that could run all the software written for its
predecessor. This software compatibility remains a hallmark of Intel's family of
microprocessor. Within 6 years of it release, there were an estimated 15 million 286-
based personal computers installed around the world.
