Introduction

IBM was helping Intel (and themselves, because it only alleviated Intel not needing to supply CPUs for some Model 70 and 80 systems) with the production of the 386DX processors — mostly at a time of the 20 and 25 MHz rated parts.

Because the CPU Reset Signatures match the Intel versions (including the only 0304h signature I have ever seen; I don't believe that Intel had identified that level in their datasheet information either), IBM likely used Intel's masks as-is.
