Dale, <But was it bad luck, or was it Intel's aggressive execution?>
I was a deceptive marketing. The 8086 part was
clearly inferior to Mot's part. However Intel
launched a campaign to publish 50 articles in
the trade press. They published a catalog of
data sheets for parts that did not exist,
just to create an impression of strong "leader".
They also developed a set of special benchmarks
designed to show that Intel can outperform MOT's
VLSI package.

True, later "Intel delivers" those part, but the
quality of these designs are still dragging
down the whole PC industry, with all these
weird byte-indexed protocols and read side
effects.

Motorola was more honest and lost. Actually,
they were too busy by orders from
automotive industry and did not respond
enthusiasticly enough for IBM requests.
For Intel that was a golden opportunity
with no demand for inferior 80xx.

Intel is following this deceptive strategy
until today. They advertise in advance but
deliver bugs.
Do you think that all these "publications" in
CMP net (by Lisa DiCarlo, M.Canelones, etc.)
about 700MHz "future" processors appear
without direct Intel's hand? Not.

The worse the situations is, the more publications
we will see. And P.E will be excited to inform
us about them as soon as possible.
