Hi,
	I've heard it rumored that Intel has released/announced the
iAPX 486. This is supposedly a 386 successor. Can anybody comment about
this?

	Cheers,

There was a short (75 words) announcement in Infoworld a couple of
months ago that intel was going to make an 80486.  Few details were
provided, but they estimated that the chip would have 1,000,000
transistors.
