The 80386SX is the same 80386 core with >and external 16 bit data bus and 24 bit address bus. I was told by the PR folks at Intel that any part marked DX was a D-step part. Are they confused? Are there any DX parts that are not D-step? Or are you saying that the DX notation was added when the D-step was released, but that it is just coincidence that the letter "D" is used?
