Bill - Re: " I suspect they got beat in the craft of making
faster ones and did not keep optimizing the 386/486 faster, "

Yes, you are right. AMD and Cyrix built faster 486's than Intel so Intel stopped building 486's. And since the Pentiums weren't faster thna the 486's, AMD and Cyrix eventually put Intel out of the CPU business.
