Aparently they have announced/release/whatever their future plans for 
chip development.  In the 8086 binary compatible line, and according to
Info World August 28, 1989 page 1 ....

The 80586 will contain 4 million transitors (4 times the 486).

They plan to have the 40-MHz i468 out by 4th quarter, and 50 MHz out by the
end of 1990.  There will be a second level of cache controller availaible for
the i486 by mid 1990.

(I know, everyone already knows about the 486.  Ok... besides the general
 announcement that the 586 will be, the article continues...)
 
 By late 1996, the Intel i686 will appear, containing 22 million transistors,
 and by 2000, the 100-million transistor i786 will appear, running at
 (are you ready for this) 250 MHz, while occupying only 1 square inch.
 They plan to keep the chips binary-compatible with todays 80X86 machines.
 
 The article indicates that David House, Intel senior vice president,
 speaking at the SCO Forum on the U of Calif at Santa Cruz was the source of
 the information.
