Am386 chips were 100%-compatible with [[Intel]]'s {{intel|80386}}, had better performance, ran cooler, used less power, and introduced a number of new innovative features such as sleep-mode for laptops. This family became a major success for AMD, allowing them become a fully fledged independent developer of x86 [[microprocessor]]s, as opposed to just a second source manufacturer. |
