386

Processor used in older PC's. First x86-CPU with 32bit
Existed at frequencies up to 40 MhZ
There are 2 Versions, 386SX and 386DX
The SX came from the word Sixteen, because this CPU had a narrower Data bus to reduce costs. It was developed as a 286 killer but is a slow piece of junk...

AMD

Amd usually took Intels designs and upgraded them so that they ran faster( eg 386@40, 486@40, 486DX2@80,....)
First 100% own development was the K5 which was a pentium killer, but not too successful.
AM is their short they write onto chips...

The AM386 runs at 40 MhZ

SX

Comes from Intel...
Means reduced form of the CPU, originated from the 386 SX with its SiXteen bit databus.
Intel had the following SX-Types:
386SX: 386 with reduced Databus width
