Message-ID: <17750@cup.portal.com> Date: 29 Apr 89 21:40:17 GMT Organization: The Portal System (TM) Lines: 10 In the current (May) issue of Bite-me, er, uh, I mean, Byte magazine there is an article on the i860. At the end of the fifth paragraph it says: "The RISC processor market has become so overcrowded, in fact, that one chip maker, AMD, has decided to pull its RISC chip, the 29000, out of the competition." Notice it says "out of the competition" not "out of the market." What does this mean? Anyone from Byte or AMD care to comment?
