Ken (of Intel) didn't mention it in his reply to the above, but Intel's partner(chip), AMD, has a subtle series of ads in the June 10, 1985 Electronic Engineering Times that mention AMD's price for their 8MHz PLCC Am80186 is $14.95 for 1K. See page 62 (for example). Or see page 44 of Electronic News (June 3). Disclaimer #1: I am considering using the 186.

Subtle? ha ha ha. That's not the way AMD does things. I have the ad in front of me and it is certainly not subtle. I wonder what the price is in large quantities? (this is only my opinion, but I've been to 3 AMD Christmas parties, if you want to talk about unsubtle) -- A man could get elected President by promising to put the phone company back together.
