I don't have any intel statistics, just seems to me as very bad efectivity. How many % they had thrashed with bad cache? Later they got idea to make celeron but there was not 486 without cache :)

Yes, and then I would expect when they improved technologic process and had produced less bad SX it was still demanded by market bacause became popular as cheap CPU. So could turn some DX to SX if needed. I don't have any proof but do you have a proof that all SX ever made have really bad FPU? I think it just a speculation...
