The conclusion seems to be that AMD is definitely not out of the 32-bit market
yet, as Roger Sheperd and David Boreham (both from Inmos Bristol) replied
almost immediately:
 
Roger: this subject has come up in comp.arch. Apparently AMD have announced that
Roger: they are no longer targetting the workstation market. BYTE will be carry
Roger: an apology soon. (Actually this should come as no surprise, the 29K is
Roger: too late and too similar in performance to enter the w/s market).
 
David: This was actually a mis-quote. What they have done is pulled out
David: of the *workstation* market (UNIX workstations). Of course this
David: is not a market that INMOS have ever catered for (not yet anyway).
David: The AM29000 is still, unfortunately, a major competitor to the T425.
David: (Look out for a BYTE correction --- they promised to print one
David: as the article caused AMD quite a bit of hassle !)
 
Hope this clears up the 29K mis-quote.
