Dear mailing list, Is the rumour that Frank Hayes wrote in Byte (the YAI860A (yet another I860 article)) true that AMD is pulling its 29000 out of the 32-bit market ? If so, it would mean that the most important 32-bit manufacturers at this moment are: Motorola, Intel, Inmos, MIPS, National, Sun, Intergraph, Acorn, ..., in descending order of importance. Any comments on the AMD rumour ?

No, this was an inadvertent typo. What Frank meant to say was that AMD has concentrated on targeting the embedded control market, rather than the Unix Workstation market. Look for a retraction/clarification in the next issue of Byte. -- Tim Olson Advanced Micro Devices (tim@amd.com)
