I know of
someone - within the last, oh, year or so - with whom I was
corresponding. This person is (was) developing new hardware with a
'386 CPU on it. Brand new chips. Quite possibly a 386 core in a
larger chip, I don't know, but to software it's an 80386 CPU.
Then they chose very poorly, because it is an inefficient, obsolete,
power-hungry, hot, slow chip in the C21.
Intel discontinued the chip six years ago now, in 2007:
