The Intel 80376, introduced January 16, 1989, was a variant of the Intel 80386SX intended for embedded systems.
It differed from the 80386 in not supporting real mode
(the processor booted directly into protected mode
) and having no support for paging in the MMU
. The 376 was available at 16 or 20 MHz.
It was replaced with the much more successful 80386EX
from 1994, and was finally discontinued on June 15, 2001.
