Hi guys!
	Some time ago Intel introduced iAPX-432 chip, which had a 
	lot of goodies on board - object-oriented chip, I would
	say.

	Now the question. Is it being used by ANYBODY anywhere?
	It seems to me the chip never made the market. Can
	anybody explain why? I'm really curious. Maybe five
	years ago there was no need, but now it should fit
	perfectly into almost any application demand (well,
	I don't know its performance, but can it be that
	bad)?

	Feel free to respond by e-mail.

	Regarsd,
	Uri.		(uunet!bywater!arnor!uri)
