The NEC V20 was a processor made by NEC that was a reverse-engineered, pin-compatible version of the Intel 8088 with an instruction set compatible with the Intel 80186.

TRIVIA

The chip featured much more than the 29,000 transistors of the simpler 8088 CPU, ran at 5 to 10 MHz, and was around 30% faster (application dependent) than the 8088 at the same clock speed, primarily due to faster effective address calculation, along with faster loop counters, shift registers and multiplier.
