That was my understanding too.  I'm curious, though, how much of the die
size was shaved off when moving from the 486DX -> 486SX.  Does the cost
savings really translate to what Intel is charging now relative to the
DX, or are the prices purely market driven (i.e. is the 486SX locked to
the AM386-40)?
