Since Marketing is Evil, I'd venture that they'd come up with:

1. A Mainstream line with 16-bit support removed at the same price point
as we're paying now.

2. An Intel Legacy(tm) line of processors, identical to what we can buy
now, except in limited quantities and *much* more expensive.

I wanted to go into marketing, but they found out my parents were
warm-blooded.
