Description:
The Cyrix Cx486DLC is a hybrid x86 microprocessor introduced in the early 1990s, designed to upgrade Intel 386DX systems with 486-level performance while retaining 386 socket (PGA132) compatibility. The Cx486DLC-40GP variant operates at 40 MHz, bringing substantial performance improvements to older motherboards without requiring a complete platform overhaul. The Cx486DLC was a popular choice for cost-effective system upgrades in the early 1990s, allowing users to boost performance significantly without transitioning to the newer platforms. This specific version labeled “For OEM Use Only” was typically supplied in bulk to PC manufacturers.
Today, the Cx486DLC is a sought-after collectible for retro computing enthusiasts, especially those building or upgrading 386-class systems with enhanced capabilities.
