Description:Intel 80387 is a co-processor for 80386
microprocessor family. The 80387 runs at the same
speed as the 80386 and supports all execution
modes of the main processor - real, protected and
virtual. Being fully object-code compatible with
80287 and 8087 co-processors, the 80387 has much
greater performance due to a few factors:

Higher co-processor clock frequency.

Execution of optimized FPU instructions requires
fewer clock cycles.

Data bus is 32-bit.

The 80387 comes in two versions - 80387DX works
with 80386DX processors, and 80387SX works with
80386SX CPUs (Since the SX and DX have different
bus sizes)

This is one of the latest versions, using CHMOS
IV 1 Micron and marked with a range of speeds.
