I'm not in marketing or sales, but, as far as the Am29000 goes, it
appears to be (semi)public knowledge:

From the back cover of the latest "Insights" -- the in-house AMD
publication:

	"...Initial pricing is expected to be under $500 per device for
prototype quantity orders.  Production pricing should be around $100 per
unit by 1990."

	Processor Strategic Development <- (that's the latest name ;-)
