16 years ago, our 486DX4 100Mhz had hard time to process DivX Files to VCD Format. Using TMPEGEnc on Windows 95 and Nero Burning ROM.

tried some Tests, looks like the Core is really the same like the 5x86, but amd disabled half of 16kb. but makes no big difference at all. Core works at 3x50 and 4x40Mhz well, no issues, crashes etc. i did some mpeg encoding on the CPU under Linux and it was running ~ 30-40 hours for a videocd.

NSSI reports 8Kb of L1 Cache, Sysspeed reports 16Kb. Who is right ? 😀 Now running DX4 @ 160Mhz 😳 EDIT: cachechk reports 16Kb Cache. Is there a Method to check real cache size ?
