Intel 487SX
Jump to user comments
processor A version of the Intel 486DX microprocessor
with an extra pin, for use in the coprocessor socket of an
Intel 486SX system. The 487SX provides the FPU which is
missing in the 486SX.
Although the 486SX is completely disabled when you install a
487SX, the 487SX design requires that you leave the 486SX in
your PC [why?], rather than use it elsewhere. Intel admits
that in some systems you can unplug the 486SX and fit a 487SX
in its place but they don't guarantee that it will always
work.
