Why would anybody want an Intel chip in a calculator? They're far to
complicated and could possibly contain serious errors. (The Pentium FDIV
bug is a good example of that.)

What I'd want is Motorola to put their G3 chip into a calc. It's a 266 MHz
chip that consumes 4W and eats any Intel chip for breakfast. Look at any
SPEC benchmark.
