The second-generation i860 '''XP''' microprocessor (code named '''N11''') added 4 Mbyte pages, larger on-chip caches, second level cache support, faster buses, and hardware support for bus snooping to provide [[cache coherence]] in [[multiprocessor]] systems. A process shrink for the XP from 1 μm to 0.8 μm using the [[CHMOS]] V process increased the clock to 40 and 50 MHz.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hotchips.org/wp-content/uploads/hc_archives/hc03/2_Mon/HC3.S3/HC3.3.2.pdf |title=The i860 XP - Second Generation of the i860. |access-date=2015-02-22 |archive-date=2018-08-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180820124131/http://www.hotchips.org/wp-content/uploads/hc_archives/hc03/2_Mon/HC3.S3/HC3.3.2.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> Both microprocessors supported the same instruction set for application programs.
