- Let me add from the same file (and with the permission of the author):
-
- "The Cyrix 486DLC is the 386DX replacement with the highest integer performance
- With the internal cache enabled, integer performance of the 486DLC can be up to
- 80% higher compared with a Intel 386DX at the same clock frequency, with the
- average speed gain for integer applications being 35%. Enabling the internal
- cache provides about 5-15% more performance than with the cache disabled for
- both integer and floating-point applications. Floating-point applications are
- accelerated by about 15%-30% if the Cyrix 486DLC (with cache enabled) is used
- instead of the Intel 386DX. Compared with the Intel 486DX, the Cyrix 486DLC
- provides about 70% of the integer performance and about 50% of the floating
- point performance at the same clock frequency."
