The only difference is the name.
So was it a naming nomenclature that they came up with after the fact when they decided to release lower end, cost reduced chips, like the Celerons? I was curious because I couldn't find any information. But I vaguely remember when the 486 came out it was just called the 486 and then a bit later the SX and DX came out and I didn't know what kind of difference there was -edit- aside from the fact that the SX doesn't have an activated FPU -edit-. And trying to find information I can find The 486 labeled chips have the ident information of 486DX on the printing at the bottom of the chip. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.
