Cyrix Corporation was a microprocessor developer that was founded in 1988 in Richardson, Texas, as a specialist supplier of floating point units for 286 and 386 microprocessors. The company was founded by Tom Brightman and Jerry Rogers. In 1992, Cyrix introduced its own i386 compatible processors, the 486SLC and 486DLC. [2]
Cyrix processor chips: In memoriam - The Silicon Underground
Apr 28, 2021 · Cyrix’s first products, introduced in 1988, were 287- and 387-compatible math coprocessors that outperformed Intel’s equivalent chip. This is ironic, since Cyrix spent much of its life chasing Intel’s floating point performance.

Cyrix FasMath CX-83D87 / 387DX+ The CX-83D87 (called 387DX+ in Europe) and branded FasMath, was introduced in 1989. It is the fastest 387-compatible coprocessor, available in 25, 33, and 40 MHz variants, and provides up to 50% better performance than …
FPU 387 questions - VOGONS
Dec 1, 2016 · I have a motherboard which requires you to set a particular jumper if you are using the 87DLC from Cyrix. If you don't set the jumper, it doesn't work. However, I haven't witnessed any speed differences between the Cyrix 387+ and the older grey-top Cyrix 387's.
A brief comparison of 386 FPUs - VOGONS
Mar 7, 2011 · I have run version 19.6 of Fractint on three different FPUs: Cyrix FasMath black-top, i387DX, and ULSI DX2-66. I used fractal image Mandelfn with Video size SF7 (1024x768x256c). All three FPUs took 32 seconds to finish drawing the fractal.
