Well, they are *now*.

Somebody from Intel once indicated that the i960 was *originally*
intended to be *the* 32-bit microprocessor architecture from Intel, for
everything from toasters through UNIX boxes to BiiN boxes. 
(Unfortunately, I guess the 386 came along too soon, or the first 960
came out too late....)

From e.g. statements in Myers and Budde's book on the 960 architecture,
I can easily believe that was the case.  Was it?  (No spin-doctoring,
please; if it was the case, but Intel doesn't want you to say it was the
case, just don't say anything.)
