- Anybody heard any more rumours on the "586" coming out soon? What I've heard,
- is that Intel has gone to a completely new architecture, and micro-instruction
- set, while putting a 386 chip on board for backwards compatability.
-
- This makes a lot of sense to me. Anybody want to confirm/deny this rumour,
- or provide any more?
