Details
The Intel 80386 ("eighty-three-eighty-six"), also known as the i386, or just 386 ("three-eighty-six"), was a 32-bit microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1985. The first versions had 275,000 transistors[1] and were used as the central processing unit (CPU) of many workstations and high-end personal computers of the time. As the original implementation of the 32-bit extension of the 8086 architecture, the 80386 instruction set, programming model, and binary encodings are still the common denominator for all 32-bit x86 processors, this is termed x86, IA-32, or i386-architecture, depending on context.
