Chips & Technologies Inc yesterday duly unleashed its battle fleet against Intel Corp with its four clones of the 80386, its single-chip processor with support logic for portables, and two maths chips. The pin-compatible Super386 parts, the 38600SX and 38600DX families offer 10% and come in 16MHz, 20MHz and 25MHz versions for the SX, at $59, $88 and $92 for 10,000-up; 20MHz, 25MHz, 33MHz and 40MHz versions for the DX at $157, $157, $195 and $206. The other 80386 clones offer SuperState, software that enables certain integrated hardware features found in the Super386 38605 microprocessors: it is a 512- byte functional layer resident be tween the CPU and the rest of the system in which customers can add new operations transparent to the underlying hardware, operating system and applications, and is also offered on the PC/Chip 8680, which gives a complete 8086 motherboard bar memory and disk control on a single chip including Colour Graphics Array-compatible screen cont roller supporting 640 by 200 resolutions. The 8680 is $40 for 10,000 or more with volume in December. The 38605SX in the same three speeds as the standard one is $65, $95 and $102; the 38600DX is $174; $174; $215; $226. All sample October, DXs see volume in first quarter 1992, SXs second quarter. The SuperMath Co-processors are out this month at from $259 for a 16MHz 38700DX to $299 for 40MHz; Super Math 38700SX follows in December at $149 for 16MHz to $169 for 25MHz.
