The NEC V20 (?PD70108) was a processor made by NEC that featured
approximately 29,000 transistors. It was a reversed-engineered,
pin-compatible version of the Intel 8088 with an instruction set
compatible with the Intel 80186. The chip ran at 8 to 16 MHz and was
around 30% faster (application dependent) than the 8088 at the same clock
speed, primarily due to a hardware multiplier (whereas the 8088 had to
perform multiplication using a microcode program). NEC V20 was used in
"turbo" versions of some PC clones such as Copam and Tandy 1110 laptop
series. Also used in the Casio PV-S450 PDA. Sony also produced this
microprocessor under license from NEC as the V20H (Sony CXQ70108).
An unusual feature of the NEC V20 was that it added an Intel 8080
emulation mode, in which it could execute programs written for the Intel
8080 processors. The instructions BRKEM executed in 8086 mode (NEC used a
different notation for the instructions than Intel and BRK i
