The Am386 central processing unit microprocessor was released by AMD in 1991. A 100%-compatible clone of the Intel 80386 design, it sold millions of units and positioned AMD as a legitimate competitor to Intel, rather than just a second source for Intel's x86 CPUs.
While Intel's 386 design peaked at 33 MHz, AMD released a 40 MHz version of both its 386DX and 386SX, extending the lifespan of the architecture. The AMD 386DX-40 was very popular with small manufacturers of PC clones and with budget-minded computer enthusiasts, because the 386DX-40 could match or even slightly outperform a 486SX-25 in popular benchmarks while costing less, and performance could be further boosted with the addition of an inexpensive 387DX math coprocessor.
