The Intel Military i387 SX Math Coprocessor is an extension to the Intel Military i386 microprocessor architec-
ture. The combination of the Military i387 SX with the i386 SX Microprocessor dramatically increases the
processing speed of computer application software which utilizes mathematical operations. This makes an
ideal computer workstation platform for applications such as financial modeling and spreadsheets, CAD/CAM,
or graphics.
The Military i387 SX Math Coprocessor adds over seventy mnemonics to the Military i386 SX Microprocessor
instruction set. Specific Military i387 SX math operations include logarithmic, arithmetic, exponential, and
trigonometric functions. The Military i387 SX supports integer, extended integer, floating point and BCD data
formats, and fully conforms to the ANSI/IEEE floating point standard.
The Military i387 SX Math Coprocessor is object code compatible with the Military i387 DX and upward object
code compatible from the M80287 and M8087 Math Coprocessors. The Military i387 SX is manufactured with
Intel’s CHMOS III technology and packaged in a 68-lead PGA package. A low power consumption option
allows use in portable applications.
