Jim, my guess is that this Socket 470 or whatever thing is the result of an ultimatum from Dell -- no Celeron or Mendocino unless you lower our costs. Of course, Intel will have to develop a new chip set and they might have to start using Greek letters (µX chipset?).

By 1999, the rest of the world will be moving to 200 MHz busses while Intel comes out with a 66 MHz Socket 8 (1996) equivalent bus.
