This was created in 1979, only a year after the Intel 8086. It is identical to the Intel 8086, but the only difference to this was how it handled its address wires. This chip was chosen for the first IBM PC. This was created in 1981. These are exact clones of the Intel 8086 & the Intel 8088, except they're 30% faster. This one was created in 1980.
