The i960 - what's that?  

How can Intel be bringing out something to supercede the i860 when the i860
has hardly even started (or are things different in the States)?  That's not
like Intel (!!), or have I got the wrong end of the stick.

No, the i960 is not a successor to the i860.  The i960(KA,KB,MC) was
announced and available about 1.5 years ago; the new announcement is
for the i960CA, a code-compatible superscalar version.  The i960 got
its name from the 8096, an embedded controller.
