The Intel i860 (also known as 80860) was a RISC microprocessor
design introduced by Intel in 1989. It was one of Intel's first
attempts at an entirely new, high-end instruction set
architecture since the failed Intel i432 from the 1980s. It was
released with considerable fanfare, slightly obscuring the
earlier Intel i960, which was successful in some niches of
embedded systems, and which many considered to be a better
design. The i860 never achieved commercial success and the
project was terminated in the mid-1990s.   i860 XR KL Intel
