The CPU of 80286 Contains: Unit 2

The document discusses features of CPUs like the 80286 and 80386. It covers topics like register types, cache memory, numeric coprocessors, multiprocessor configurations, and memory management. It provides multiple choice questions to test understanding of these topics, with answers confirming that tightly coupled systems use a shared bus and cache, the 80486 was the first CPU with an onboard FPU, and multiprocessor systems can use independent processors or coprocessors.
