I remember a few years ago that Intel announced a processor called (I think)
the 432...Now that I have read about this processor (80960) in some of the
industry rags, as well as on the net, it seems to me that the 80960 is just
a repackaged, supercharged version of the 432. Can anybody comment on this?

As a side... How 'bout the prices on the 80960MC $2490 (ref Electronic Products
pg 16), and the bus exchange unit M82965 @ $1750... YOW!
