Geez, these subjects really touch a nerve sometimes ;-) Intel is making tons on the 486, so may not be motivated to release the 586 immediately, but they won't cancel it! The 586 may be delayed to be a more effective "AMD buster" or "Cyrix Killer." They're probably stockpiling, or enhancing it somehow. Remember, there were working 586 systems running at Comdex. Intel would RUIN it's relations with it's customers to cancel the chip now. Absolutely won't happen... Someone on this thread worked at Intel (at the Fab?). Maybe they could verify this. Working on process corner enhancements Intel people? ================================================================= Matthias Kamm Hewlett Packard | matthias@hpmvd069.nsr.hp.com Mountain View CA | The opinions expressed above are mine, not my employer's. | =================================================================
