Intel announced that the 100 MHz 80486 was just a laboratory excercise,
and will not be released as such. They announced that they will release 
a 50 MHz version later this year, based on technology developed as a 
result of the 100 MHz excercise, and that future chips would make similar
use of the technologies.
