In 1988, Intel introduced the i386SX, a low cost version with
a 16-bit data bus (although the CPU remained fully 32-bit
internally) intended to simplify circuit board layout and
reduce total cost

The original i386 was subsequently renamed i386DX to avoid
confusion, though this would rather cause confusion later
when the DX in the name i486DX instead indicated floating-
point capability.

yourself.
