Yeah, I've heard that the future "487" + 486sx combo will be considerably 
slower than the standard 486.

Have you heard what ever happened to the 386sl?  I understood it was to be a 
low-power 386 with a cache and a true "sleep-mode".  Isn't that almost exactly 
the same as a 486sx (but no sleep-mode) ?
