Re: The 432 failed even before there _was_ a market for DOS-compatible machines The iAPX432 appeared as the X86 architecture was coming to an apparent end with the 80286, as far as desktop computing was concerned. Even the numbering schemes for the chips changed as Intel devised the iAPX (Intel's Advanced Performance Architecture) moniker for its entire line of processors. The iAPX 432 was to be the flagship, with all other chips renamed accordingly zdnet.com Re: The 860 and 960 are completely different chips Sorry, but that wasn't what Intel originally intended: The Intel i860 microprocessor delivers supercomputer performance in a single VLSI component. The 64-bit design of the i860 balances integer, floating point, and graphic performance, and its architecture makes it suitable for many applications including engineering workstations, scientific computing, 3-D graphics workstations, and multi-user systems. alacron.com When the 860 proved a total failure as a CPU it was respun as an embedded processor - where it has proved to be a fine part for that task.
