IBM Blue Lightning DX2 – Rare 486-V266GA CPU – Vintage Collectible Processor

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This is an IBM Blue Lightning DX2 (486-V266GA) microprocessor, part of IBM’s 486-compatible CPU family from the early 1990s. Unlike Intel’s 486, the Blue Lightning line was designed as a cost-effective and efficient alternative with enhanced performance in some tasks.

The DX2 variant doubled the internal clock speed, similar to Intel’s 486DX2, and was often used in IBM PCs and compatible systems. This CPU is notable for being IBM’s effort to establish itself in the x86 processor market.

👉 This unit is sold as a vintage collectible processor, untested, ideal for enthusiasts, retro computing hobbyists, or hardware collectors.
