Sounds highly confusing for its customers… Intel Corp says it will ship 60 versions of the 80486 this year, with clock speeds ranging from 25MHz to 100MHz, senior vice-president Paul Otellini told the Hambrecht & Quist conference in San Francisco: We now have the capacity to build some 30m 80486s in 1993, Otellini said, and he expects Intel to sell some 100m 80486 chips after 1993; Intel expects to spend some $900m on research and development this year, up from $780m in 1992, he declared, and would do 1m Pentiums in 1994.
