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).

See https://www.eembc.org/coremark/scores.php and https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/coremark-mhz

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.
