That is the i432, actually it was supposed to be intel's flagship (which
sunk obviously) the 8086/88 was actually an inhouse sort of "just in case"
project. So it was never intended to replace the x86, the x86 was the
"safe" option for the i432... hence some of the brain dead design choices
they made.
