Description:.
The third generation of x86 family, the Intel
80386 (i386) was a complete 32-bit processor with
ability to address 4 GB of physical memory. The
processor included new protected mode, that
allowed the processor to fully utilize new 32-bit
architecture and new features, like memory
protection, paging, etc. Another new mode -
virtual mode - could be used to run old 8086
applications without switching the processor back
from protected mode to real mode. There were a
few variations of the Intel 80386:

Low cost 80386SX had 16 bit external data bus and
24-bit external address bus. This processor
supported only 16 MB of physical memory.

The AMD version also has low power features.
