According to a seminar held by Toivo Rojder, Technical Marketing Manager,
Intel Scandinavia, the Micro 2000 (the chip intel releases around 2000)
will have 6 processors (including 2 vector and 1 multimedia prosessor),
will run at 250MHz, with 2000 Drystone MIPS, AND .. here it comes:
IT WILL CONTAIN A 386!!!!!!!

Well, he said that the P5 would have Superscalar RISC tecnology, and
Optimizing Compilers... and he stressed that intel in the furure would
