Intel wanted to go full 32-bit with capability-like segments right after 8080 with i432. It took way too much time to design, so they released 8086 as a stair-step to 432. It still took too much time, so they released 286. And when i432 was ready it turned out painfully slow anyway and x86 was completely entrenched because of PC platform so they bite the bullet. |
