And what was its cost relation to the i8088? I'm asking because
I don't ctually know about this one. I do know the one Kaz
mentioned would have jacked the price of a PC up by about
$300-$1000.

If you have a product that is obviously technically superior or
technically equivalent and cheaper, large corporations will
gladly hear your plea.You just have to take the initiative to
get off your ass and discuss it with them.

You can believe what you want, but the pure and simple fact is
in business, friendship means nothing, IBM went with the best
deal, not with the closest friend. IBM might have been willing
to pay a penny or two more per chip, but that wasn't the
difference between Intel's and most of the other competitors.
I have friends that own car dealers, but I don't buy from them
because they don't offer me the best deal. Now having a friend
at Intel may have gotten IBM the chips cheaper and thus both
proffited, but price was the ultimate reason the Intel
CPU's were chosen. That and the ease of which they fit into
existing system designs [the i8088 that is, the i8086 had
problems].
