ST Microelectronics released the first x86 system-on-a-chip today. It's an enhanced 486 integrated with the equivalent of 5 other chips, allowing manufacturers to build complete systems for less that $100, and a 486 is probably sufficient for the types of IA applications ( XC's) Acer's chaiman was talking about.
