I heard it the other way around: AMD makes faster 286's (16 MHz, then 20, now
25) because they didn't get a second source agreement for 386's....  Maybe 
Intel came out with a 20MHz 386SX even though they originally stated that 16
MHz would be the limit because of the ultra-fast 286's....

BTW, Harris also second sources 286's, and also has at least a 20 MHz 286.
