Write Back instead of Write Through

EDIT >> but SK051 is NOT supposed to support Write Back Confused

what is the markings on the die cap?

because at the moment I'm guessing it is a DX4-75 remarked to a DX4-100
most likely a SK102 if it does support WB or they may have used a AMD

also by week 22 2000 Intel 486 were white print and dash in the part number was gone

The Intel 486s that supported write back had &EW engraved, whereas your has just &E.

Intel lists this part number in some Product Change Notifications, but I've never seen "WB" suffix before. If the processor is genuine then I agree with Stu that it probably means "Write Back".

A80486DX4WB100 is the product ordering code for a 100MHz 3.3V embedded 486 with Write Back

it was not used for the chip markings

this is likely a faked processor.
The corner is too large comparing with the normal one.
The normal ratio of x versus y is 21.6, but ratio of this one is 15.9.

see attached photos for illustration.
