Intel announces a faster version of its fastest PC chip

Article Abstract:

Intel Corp introduces a faster version of the 80486 DX2 microprocessor. The new product runs internally at 66 Mhz and sends and receives data at 33 MHz. The success of the 486 series has helped delay the introduction of the long-awaited PF5 microprocessor. Intel claims that the faster internal clock will speed up the computer's processing by 70 percent. Intel announced that over 30 vendors expect to use the chip in future products. The companies include IBM, DEC, Compaq, Dell Computer Corp and Tandy Computer Corp. Intel had released the initial version of the DX2 chip early in 1992 and has sold over 300,000 chips so far. The new chips cost $682 each in quantities of 1,000 or more.
