He Chunhui's Tiny386 Turns an ESP32-S3 into a Fully-Functional 386-Powered PC

Super cool work! Here's the emulator source: https://github.com/hchunhui/tiny386

I wonder what the "effective" clock of the emulated CPU is, maybe we could run Speedsys or Landmark under DOS on it to see how it fares against a real 386. I happen to have a top-end 386 at 40MHz, 16MB FPM, and S3 801 VGA, but it's not quite fast enough to "enjoy" Win95 for me. :)

From the looks of the video, neither is this project, which might mean that performance is comparable to the real 386!

Blast! 80386 was removed from Linux only a few years ago. Ironically enough it was the first supported platform because Linus T had one.
