  Electronic News: 386 gives AMD 'hold.' - Advanced Micro Devices - What They're Saying - Column
This growth reflected the impact of sales of its Am386 chips, which grew to $146 million, or 40 percent of total sales, from $59 million in the September quarter.
Neff adds, it is basing its outlook on demand for the Am386 family, which it said could grow to more than $180 million in the March quarter.
The analyst is raising his EPS estimate for 1992 from $1.50 to $2.50, which reflects sales of $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion, gross margins of about 51 percent for the year, moderate expense growth and a low tax rate due to carryforwards.

 Am386 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
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.
After a few years in the courtrooms, AMD finally won the case and the right to sell their Am386.
This paved the way for competition in the CPU market and thus lowered the cost of owning a PC.

 AMD: 30 Years of Pursuing the Leader. Part 2
But another court had confirmed the AMD's right to use the fruits of the agreement of 1982, and AMD used it saying that the agreement gave the right to copy the microcode of ALL Intel's processors.
It's interesting that the arbiter didn't clerify whether the Am386 contained a part of the Intel's intellectual property.
Neverhteless, the sword of Damocles was hanging over AMD - all decisions of the courts were based on that agreement of 1982, and if somebody had called it into question...

The die is only slightly larger than the original Am386.
The final chip is an Am486 microprocessor manufactured on sixth-generation, 0.35-micron technology, yielding a dramatically smaller chip than the original Am386 microprocessor.
AMD announced on January 6, 1998 that it commenced initial shipments of AMD-K6 processors based on 0.25-micron process technology during the recently completed quarter (Q4, 1997).

While the Am386 microprocessor contained a circuitry layout that differed from Intel's, it also contained an exact copy of Intel's copyrighted microcode.
On June 1, 1992, the arbitrator's award was confirmed by the Santa Clara Superior Court, and Intel immediately appealed to the California Court of Appeal.
AMD's Corrective September 1993 Disclosures Result in 10.8% Drop in Stock Price In late August 1993, AMD conducted an analysis of the microcode and learned that 600 to 700 lines out of a total of 3300 of AMD's clean room 486 microcode appeared to be substantially similar to lines of Intel's 386 microcode.

The 32-bit processor is compatible with programs written for Intel's 80386, and has been successfully tested with various applications, such as Microsoft Word, Windows 3.0, Deskview, and others running on 25- and 33-MHz computers.
AMD reports that the Am386 is not a clone of Intel's product, but rather a re-engineered version that emulates its microcode and has added features.
The Am386 could give AMD a short-term boost; however, observers...

Back in the old days (only a few years ago), when Intel unleashed upon us as an unstoppable force, AMD was plotting their cunning plan for world domination.
The first of AMD's chips were the original Am386 microprocessor, introduced in 1991.
This 200,000-transistor device was produced on third-generation 0.8-micron technology -- that is, its smallest features are approximately eight-tenths of a micron in width.

 AMD pips Intel with 64-bit offer - Talkback - ZDNet UK News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
It is so sad that AMDs marketing prowess had/has for so long matched neither their price to performance capabilities, nor their innovative spirits -Think here even as far back as the tri-level cache system introduced to the 32-bit arena in the form of their KIII series.
One can only consider the fact that AMD was also the organisation that brought real competition in to the x86 arena with their offering of the AM386.
It could be argued that the AM386 changed the pricing dynamics in the x86 arena, making x86 systems more affordable to the general public and thereby assisting in the acceleration of the production of skills and products in the general market.
