It exists, mostly, on paper.  All of the details have not yet been decided,
so it isn't even vaporware yet -- it exists only as an announcement by
Motorola to try and keep designers from designing in the 80386 until they
can (quick! hurry!) get something better on the market.

Intel didn't announce the 80386 until they had it (mostly) working, in
real silicon.  Motorola should be ashamed.
