[net.micro.432] Is 432 dead?

lee@fortune.UUCP (12/14/83)

Improved 432? Really? Are they selling it with improved price also?
Last I hear it was outrageously expensive. If they cut the price
further, perhap I can trade in my entire 68000 CPU board for a 432
CPU chip. (just a joke, no offense, Intel).

Yes the 432 is now faster *and* cheaper.  How much faster?  Intel
says performance has more than doubled.  Take that for what it's worth.
The pricing is down to $169 per GDP set, $49 per BIU, quantity 1000.
