The 8087 was the first coprocessor that Intel made available for the 80x86 family. It was introduced in 1980 and therefore does not have full compatibility with the IEEE-754 standard for floating-point arithmetic (which was finally released in 1985). It complements the 8088 and 8086 CPUs and can also be interfaced to the 80188 and 80186 processors.
 
The 8087 is implemented using NMOS. It comes in a 40-pin CERDIP and is available in 5 MHz, 8 MHz, and 10 MHz versions. Power consumption is rated at max. 2400 mW.
 
A neat trick to enhance the processing power of the 8087 for computations that use only the basic arithmetic operations (+,-,*,/) and do not require high precision is to set the precision control to single-precision. This gives one a performance increase of up to 20%.
 
With the help of an additional chip, the 8087 can in theory be interfaced to an 80186 CPU. The 80186 was used in some PCs (e.g. from Philips, Siemens) in 1982/1983.

The 80187 is a rather late coprocessor designed to support the 80C186 embedded processor. It was introduced in 1989 and implements the complete 80387 instruction set. It is available for 12.5 and 16 MHz operation.

The 80287 is the original Intel coprocessor for the 80286 and was introduced in 1983. It uses the same execution unit as the 8087 and therefore has the same speed (sometimes slower due to additional overhead in CPU coprocessor communication).
As the 8087, it does not provide full compatibility with the IEEE-754 floating point standard. There are 6 MHz, 8 MHz, and 10 MHz versions. The 80287 has been replaced by its CMOS successor, the Intel 287XL, which has been introduced in 1990. It is based on the 387 core and therefore much faster than the 80287.
 
The 80287 was manufactured in NMOS technology, and is packaged in a 40-pin CERDIP. There are 6 MHz, 8 MHz, and 10 MHz versions. Power consumption can be estimated to be the same as that for the 8087, which is 2400 mW max.

Comment by Paul Collins (pi314aussie[at]yahoo.com):
Got one of these suckers out of an IBM PS/2 system model 60. Put it into 287 slot in a 286-20MHz M/Board. I learned that the main CPU socket and the 287co-pro socket run independantly of each other. Using utility software, I have found the 287 socket runs a 10MHz turbo, and 8MHz un-turbo, and that the main CPU socket runs at 20MHz turbo, and 8MHz un-turbo. I changed the clock-crystal from a 40MHz rock to a 50MHz rock, and now the main CPU runs at 25MHz, and the co-pro socket still runs at 10MHz. Good thing too, as the filched D80287-10 runs hot at its rated 10. I wouldn't like it to run any faster.

This chip is Intel's second-generation 287, first introduced in 1990. Since it is based on the 80387 coprocessor core, it features full IEEE 754 compatibility and faster instruction execution. Intel claims about 50% faster operation than the 80287 for typical benchmark tests. Compared with benchmark results for the AMD 80C287, which is identical to the Intel 80287, the Intel 287XL performed 66% faster than the AMD 80C287 on a fractal benchmark and 66% faster on the Whetstone benchmark.
Since the 287XL has all the additional instructions and enhancements of a 387, most software automatically identifies it as an 80387-compatible coprocessor and therefore can make use of extra 387-only features, such as the FSIN and FCOS instructions.
The 287XL is manufactured in CMOS and therefore uses much less power than the older NMOS-based 80287. At 12.5 MHz, the power consumption is rated at max. 675 mW, about 1/4 of the 80287 power consumption. The 287XL is available in either a 40-pin CERDIP (ceramic dual inline package) or a 44 pin PLCC (plastic leaded chip carrier). (This latter version is called the 287XLT and intended mainly for laptop use.) The 287XL is rated for speeds of up to 12.5 MHz.
 
Comment by Paul Collins (pi314aussie[at]yahoo.com):
Our shop sold these in big cardboard boxes. They were 20MHz chips, sold as covering all speed m/boards out there from 6MHz to 20MHz.
See my note for D80287-10......my own personal 286-20 m/board run a fixed 10MHz clock for the FPU co-pro socket, so where were these m/boards that needed a true 20MHz chip??? My m/board was made in 1993! (After the release of the XL-20 FPU's).

The Intel 80387 was the first generation of coprocessors designed specifically for the Intel 80386 CPU. It was introduced in 1986, about one year after the 80386 was brought to market. Early 386 system were therefore equipped with both a 80287 and a 80387 socket. The 80386 does work with an 80287, but the numerical performance is hardly adequate for such a system.
The 80387 has itself since been superseded by the Intel 387DX introduced by a quiet change in 1989 (see below). You might find it when acquiring an older 386 machine, though. The old 80387 is about 20% slower than the newer 387DX.
 
The 80387 is packaged in a 68-pin ceramic PGA, and was manufactured using Intel's older 1.5 micron CHMOS III technology, giving it moderate power requirements. Power consumption at 16 MHz is max. 1250 mW (750 mW typical), at 20 MHz max. 1550 mW (950 mW typical), and at 25 MHz max. 1950 mW (1250 mW typical).

Comment by Paul Collins (pi314aussie[at]yahoo.com):
I got a "turbo card" for IBM PC and IBM PC/XT. It was a self contained unit, that plugged into the 8-bit ISA slot, and a ribbon cable that plugged into the 8088 slot.
This turbo card had an 80386 and 80387 and 1MegByte RAM (in DIL 4 bank old fashion setup). The whole thing ran the ORIGINAL 16 MHz Intel chips. Boy do they run 'hot'. I thought it might have been the early versions, so I replaced those mark 1's with (then) current 386-33 and 387-33 chips. Alas, they ran just as hot as before! N.B. the 4 banks of RAM only yeilded 640k of available memory to the system. (No 384k reserved for print-spoolers or RAM-disks, like the early "AST six-pack").

The Intel 387DX is the second generation Intel 387 and was introduced in 1989. This version is done in a more advanced CMOS process than the 80387 that enables the coprocessor to run at a maximum frequency of 33 MHz, while the 80387 had a maximum frequency of 25 MHz.
The 387DX is about 20% faster than the 80387 at the same clock frequency. The Intel 387DX (and its predecessor 80387) are the only 387 coprocessors that support asynchronous operation of CPU and FPU. The 387 consists of a bus interface unit and a numerical execution unit. The bus interface unit always runs at the speed of the CPU clock.

The 387SX is the coprocessor for the Intel 386SX. It has all the features the Intel 80387 offers, including the ability for asynchronous operation of CPU and coprocessor. Due to the 16 bit data path between the CPU and the coprocessor, the 387SX is a bit slower than a 80387 operating at the same frequency.
In addition, the 387SX is based on the core of the original 80387, which executes instructions slower than the second generation 387DX. The 387SX comes in a 68-pin PLCC package and is available in 16, 20, 25 and 33 MHz versions.

The 80387SL is a coprocessor designed for use in systems based on an Intel 386SL CPU. The 386SL is derived from the 386SX. It is a static CHMOS IV design with very low power requirements that is intended to be used in notebook and laptop computers.

The 387SL, introduced in early 1992, has been designed to accompany the 386SL in machines with low power consumption and substitute the 387SX for this purpose. It features advanced power saving mechanisms. It is based on the 387DX core, rather than on the older and slower 80387 core (which is used by the 387SX).

Comment by MoonKnight (moonknightus[at]yahoo.com):
Not a real co-processor. This is really just an i486DX in redesigned packaging that, when installed, would disable the onboard i486SX and take over main operation of the CPU/FPU.
 
Comment by Paul Collins (pi314aussie[at]yahoo.com):
Please note, this chip has one-more-pin than a true i486DX chip. It works as a kind of "disable the other guy" pin. This was to facilitate end-user installation, without first removing the system-manufacture's supplied CPU. ie. what end user can remove a PLCC or indeed a PQFP surface mounted chip. The A80486SX "cripple-chip" commonly came in PLCC and PQFP confugurations as often as it came in PGA! Please note, the i486SX "cripple-chip" has the same pins as the true i486DX chip, and are thus pin-for-pin, same-for-same (assuming equal clock).
