i486SL

The Intel i486SL is the power-saving variant of the i486DX microprocessor.

The system management mode makes it possible to shut down the processor without losing data.

To achieve this, the processor state is saved in an area of static RAM (SMRAM).

In mid-1993, Intel incorporated the SMM feature in all its new 80486 processors and discontinued the SL series.
