Looks like glorified 386 CPU with cache. Looks like they did similar thing with IBM SLC processor  |

Indeed, but in reality, the Intel 486 was a 386 with cache, a better bus unit and tighter pipelining
The Intel 486GX even goes with a 16-bit bus haha

You’re absolutely right about that! The Intel 486 was basically the enhanced version of the legendary 386. |
