The Intel387
TM
DX Math CoProcessor (MCP) is an extension of the Intel386
TM
microprocessor architecture
The combination of the Intel387 DX MCP with the Intel386
TM
DX Microprocessor dramatically increases the
processing speed of computer application software which utilize mathematical operations This makes an ideal
computer workstation platform for applications such as financial modeling and spreadsheets CAD CAM or
graphics
The Intel387 DX Math CoProcessor adds over seventy mnemonics to the Intel386 DX Microprocessor instruc-
tion set Specific Intel387 DX MCP math operations include logarithmic arithmetic exponential and trigono-
metric functions The Intel387 DX MCP supports integer extended integer floating point and BCD data
formats and fully conforms to the ANSI IEEE floating point standard
The Intel387 DX Math CoProcessor is object code compatible with the Intel387 SX MCP and upward object
code compatible from the 80287 and 8087 math coprocessors Object code for Intel386 DX Intel387 DX is
also compatible with the Intel486
TM
microprocessor The Intel387 DX MCP is manufactured on 1 micron
CHMOS IV technology and packaged in a 68-pin PGA package
