survivin, AMD, in fact, won't be the first company with an ambidextrous chip. In 1985, Intel was working on a 32-bit chip called the 432 to replace the 16-bit 286. The 432 contained an entirely new instruction set. "It was going to be a really nifty machine. All the serious architects were working on it," Brookwood said. Intel, however, killed the project and instead released the 386, a 32-bit version of the 286 that also read 16-bit code. One of the chief engineers on the project was Pat Gelsinger, who has since become Intel's chief technical officer. Pat is our friend. Too bad he was demoted. How much damage can a Chief Technological Officer do? Joe
