Wow fascinating, was there any relation between the i860 and the i960? I remember we were accelerating video decoding in the 90s with a hugely expensive (I thought at the time) dual i860 board.

@ivor No, the i860 and i960 were completely unrelated RISC processors, despite the similar numbers. Here's a detailed article on the i860: spectrum.ieee.org/intel-i860

@kenshirriff @ivor fun stuff. I worked on gcc and gdb for i860, back in 1991 or so.
