486SX was missing FPU, not all 486s. Nearly all 486s came with FPU
after the first year or so.
The 486SX was originally a yield management hack; a 486 DX with an FPU
that failed testing was sold as a 486SX with FPU disabled. A 486 with
a bad main core but good FPU was sold as a 487 coprocessor with only
the FPU enabled.
