I remember that
there were ISA boards with multiple i860's
offered back then; the idea was to have lots of number-crunching
power in a PC back then. However, I never saw similar
products based on i960. I believe that the i860 was geared
more towards float processing/embedded control/multi user OS/
parallel processing architectures and the i960 was strictly for
embedded control, with emphasis on integer performance.
You'll find i960's in many HP laser printers.
You also find them in a most X-terminals. In fact, I think
every X-terminal that I have checked used them.

[i860]
An Xtermianl I have here uses a TI 34010 as the main processor. Yes, a
graphics processor chip. The Xserver (a very old version, may even be
X10...) is in a row of EPROMs on a daughterboard that plugs into video board.
There's also an 80188, but that's just used for I/O as far as I can see.

IBM used something similar in their low end Xterminals.
I think they upgraded to faster CPU's in the higher end 150 models.
The 110 (iirc) and 130(iirc) were pretty slow.
I've got a Dec VT1200 here and it seems pretty good for a mono
Xterminal.
