Manufacturers

x86-compatible processors have been designed, manufactured and sold by a number of companies, including:

x86-processors for regular PCs

In the past:

x86-processors for embedded designs only

Auctor Maple SoC
  • DM&P Electronics (continues SiS' Vortex86 line)
  • ZF Micro ZFx86,[4] Cx486DX SoC
  • RDC Semiconductors[5] 486SX compatible RISC core (R8610 and R8620)
  • DP Kwazar SP (ДП КВАЗАР-ІС)[6] - As of December 2021, КР1810ВМ86 (Soviet 8086 clone) still appears on Kwazar's price list.[7]

In the past:

  • ALi (x86 products went to Nvidia through the ULi sale)
  • Nvidia (M6117C - 386SX embedded microcontroller)
  • Auctor[8] / ACC Micro[9] - Maple SoC (Cx486DX4[10] core at 100 to 133 MHz)
  • Advantech - EVA-X4150 and EVA-X4300 (SoCs with 486SX-compatible processors at 150 MHz and 300 MHz, respectively)[11]
  • Innovasic - pin-compatible 80186/80188 clones[12]
  • Vadem - VG230 and VG330 (SoCs with NEC V30 CPU cores, manufacturing continued by Amphus)[13]
  • SiS (sold its Vortex86 line to DM&P)
  • Intersil (x86 line, that is up to 80286 compatible, discontinued)
  • VAutomation[14] - offered synthesizable x86 cores, in particular the Turbo 186, that has been implemented in ASICs from numerous vendors, e.g.[15]

Open source x86 cores

  • ao486[18] open source FPGA implementation of the 486SX (currently targets the Terasic Altera DE2-115)
  • S80186[19] open source 80186 compatible FPGA implementation
  • Zet open source 80186 compatible FPGA implementation targeting the Xilinx ML403 and Altera DE1

x86-SoCs for mobile devices

Manufacturing-only of x86-processors designed by others

  • GlobalFoundries (manufactures processors for AMD)
  • IBM (manufactures processors for ZF Micro and VIA; discontinued production for NexGen and Transmeta)
  • TSMC (manufactures processors for AMD and VIA; discontinued production for Transmeta)
  • Fujitsu (manufactures processors for VIA; manufactured processors for Transmeta)

In the past:

  • UMC (manufactured processors for Rise, SiS, ALi, ULi and Nvidia; discontinued x86 production)
  • National Semiconductor (manufactured processors for ZF Micro; discontinued x86 production)
  • DEC (manufactured 486 processors for AMD; discontinued x86 production)[20]

Manufactured and sold under its own name of x86-processors designed by others

Early Intel x86 CPU designs (up to the 80286) have in the past been second-sourced by the following manufacturers under licence from Intel:[21][22]
