Intel seems to be advertising in many end-user publications these days.
(Not to mention all the '386 billboards in the valley...) My guess is that
Intel will bank heavily on name recognition when the 386 clones roll in.
Given that, a reputation for reliability and customer service could mean a
lot. After all, 9/10ths of the product is marketing :-)
