80386-SX
The 80386 CPUs were an amazing
technical achievement, and luckily for Intel stockholders, priced as
such. Everyone wanted a 386, even if they couldn't afford one.
The marketing folks at Intel found a way to sell more 386's without
hurting the profitability of the original 80386. Reduce the data
path external to the CPU, making for a less expensive system
board, add a suffix to the label 80386, oh, SX
will do, and now more people can buy an 80386. This worked so well;
Intel will use this idea again later.
Only one thing was missing
in the 80386. That was the ability to do floating-point
math.
