You know best, I'm sure. But the only things that the Intel486(R) shares
with the Pentium is the instruction set and the fact they're both made of
silicon. Beyond that, the similarties seem to get real fuzzy. I was trying
to speak of design and process similarities. After all, don't your design
methods become more advanced with each new generation? And I was reading
somewhere that the P5 and P6 development where occuring in this parallel
mode because of a lot of heavy borrowing from the P5.
