Intel 80287

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Intel 80287 (287) was the math coprocessor for the Intel 80286 series of microprocessors. It was used to perform floating point arithmetic operations directly in hardware and ran at two thirds the speed of the 286 CPU.

It also operated with the 80386 microprocessor, but only because the 80387 was not yet produced when production of the 80386 began.
