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?
