'''Am8086''' (AMD 8086) was a [[second-source]]d {{intel|8086}} chip designed by [[Intel]] and manufactured by [[AMD]] in 1982.

== History ==
The [[1976]] agreement AMD had with Intel covered earlier chips such as the {{intel|8080}} and {{intel|8085}}. The [[x86]] series was intended to stay exclusively with Intel. The situation changed when [[IBM]] selected the x86 series to go in the {{ibm|PC}}. IBM required all their manufacturers to have a [[second source]]. Consequently, in [[1981]] Intel renewed their 76 agreement. A year later they also signed the [[1982 Intel-AMD technology exchange agreement|technology exchange agreement]] which allowed AMD to enter the [[x86]] market and later resulted in the legal battles that spanned much of the late 80s and early 90s.

AMD started bulk production of Intel's 8086 in 1982. AMD's 8086 are Intel's own design and are thus identical except for the manufacturing process used.
