It is a well know fact that the 8086-8087 combinaison beats easily the
80286-80287 setup in term of numbercrunching speed (at least for the
Fortran programs I use!) .. Now that the 80386 is out, is there a
math-coprocessor that will come with it , and can we expect real output
from it (i.e. speeding up 20 times or more, like the 8087 did with the 8086)?
