MathWork’s Neural Network Toolbox for MATLAB didn’t come out till 1991.
It didn’t use that chip.
Single core CPU only back then. I don’t recall any quantitative measure of how fast it was, other than some problems took days. Every new Intel CPU generation at that time was cause for celebration: massive time savings!
MATLAB ran on all kinds of machines then, including Cray supercomputers. But I don’t know of any reports of what kind of NN speedup a Cray delivered

Fast forward thirty years and I dread the arrival of the IT guys in my office with a new tower. Between new Widows versions, slow networks, thin clients that rely more on those network, and the constant rush towards dirt-cheap equipment, I loath every "upgrade" to my office machines.

These were tiny tiny problems!
