Firstly, nomenclature: As I understand it, the official name for the chip, as with others in the series, will be either Intel 80586, or i586. The i prefix applies only to the shortened form of the number. Just being pedantic. As to when it is released, that is easy: Five years before the release of the operation system designed to make use of it.
