After reading the various followups including his own, I now suspect
Hsu's talking about the i860, which was released about the same time as
the 486 and has RISC properties.  Perhaps IEEE made up what it thought
was a likely name, or got it lost in translation.

This is a case where calling Intel might have yielded more than posting.
