The condition handles invalid operation codes detected by the PC processor, as well as illegal arithmetic operations such as subtraction of two infinite values.

It was the first DBMS written for the 16-bit PC processor.

Intel has decided that the next generation of PC processors needs to have a better name than the 586.

Since the late 1990s, PC processors have become fast enough to perform mainframe emulation without the need for a peripheral card.

This processor may seem underpowered in comparison to a modern PC processor, but it is extremely reliable, resilient, and can function in solar flare-ravaged deep space.

PC processors must handle self-modifying code correctly for backwards compatibility reasons but they are far from efficient at doing so.

If you underclock a PC processor, and do not change the clock factor or multiplier (the ratio between the processor and the memory clock speed), the memory will also be underclocked.

RISC processors are unlike the conventional PC processors, which are known as CISC (pronounced sisk), for complex instruction set computing.

With the advent of frequent changes in PC processors, a need arose for these systems.

The Am386 and its low-power successors were also popular choices for embedded systems, for a much longer period than their life span as PC processors.
