It's a 32bit 48Mhz CPU, clocked to 90Mhz. I used to run a major EFnet server on Linux on a 25Mhz 386 in about 1996.

If you'd given me this business card in the mid-90s, it would have been useable as my primary desktop.

It's software emulated though. The actual speed is equivalent to around 1MHz.

Intrestingly the tiny Cortex M0+ is has about 4x the coremark per MHz of 386 (and twice 486).

Here's one with 533MHz ARM926EJ core, 32 megs of RAM and 8 megs of Flash. No emulation here. https://www.thirtythreeforty.net/posts/2019/12/my-business-c...

Ah, that's the one I remember. That's wild. People mention they bought that CPU for 60 cents. That was five years ago.

I think I'd maxed my 386 server out with 8MB of RAM.

That chip is the stuff of a madman's dreams in 1996.

If I could make my eMachine run Linux, this thing would have been a breeze!
