   Much as we all hate intel processors, it's always interesting to see what 
   new perversions they come up with. Does anyone know what will make the 586
   different from a 486? Will it be just like 386->486, so some more cache and 
   a little faster, or is there more to it than that? 

I think it's the MIPS R4000. :-)
