80287
The 80287 (i287) is the math coprocessor for the Intel 80286 series of microprocessors. Intel's models included variants with specified upper frequency limits ranging from 6 up to 12 MHz. The NMOS version were available 6, 8 and 10 MHz. The available 10 MHz Intel 80287-10 Numerics Coprocessor version was for 250 USD in quantities of 100. These boxed version of 80287, 80287-8, and 80287-10 were available for USD $212, $326, and $374 respectfully. Other 287 models with 387-like performance are the Intel 80C287, built using CHMOS III, and the AMD 80EC287 manufactured in AMD's CMOS process, using only fully static gates.

Later followed the i80287XL with 387 SX microarchitecture with a 287 pinout. The i80287XLT, a special version intended for laptops, as well as other variants. It contains an internal 3/2 multiplier, so that motherboards that ran the coprocessor at 2/3 CPU speed could instead run the FPU at the same speed of the CPU. Both 80287XL and 80287XLT offered 50% better performance, 83% less power and additional instructions.
