basically 486 but have a few extra instructions - probably just cpuid and (IIRC) rdtsc. Designed for low power embedded use they won't ever have been suitable for a desktop - but are probably fast enough for some uses. I'm not sure how much keeping 486 support actually costs, 386 was a PITA - but the 486 fixed most of those issues.Right, we have "last of mohicans" (to date) Intel Quark family of CPUs (486 core + few i586 features). This is for the embedded world and probably not for powerful use.What is the status of PC/104?
Personally I have no idea, but...

...from this we learn about PC/104 consortium on site of which we may learn about new products: https://pc104.org/products/vcs-1-pc-104-system-for-precision-robotics-applications/ One and a half years ago, not dead to me. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
