i860

(processor)

A 32/64-bit superscalar RISC microprocessor from Intel, released in 1989. Originally codenamed "N10". It has a 32-bit integer ALU and a 64-bit floating-point unit. It has a 64-bit data bus with an initialisation mode which only uses eight bits of the data bus to allow the use of a small boot ROM. It has a 32-bit wide instruction cache and a separate 64-bit wide data cache. It uses register scoreboarding and register bypassing. The clock rate is 33 MHz with a clock-doubled version available.

i860

A 32-bit RISC-based microprocessor from Intel that included a 64-bit floating point unit (FPU) and 64-bit buses. Introduced in 1988, it had limited use in Unix workstations for 3D graphics applications and also in Intel's iPSC/860 supercomputer. Both the i860 and i960 were replaced with the StrongARM chips acquired from Digital Equipment. See i960.

The Gini coefficient, which Scheidel uses as his main measure of inequality, rose from 0.44 in 1774 to 0.49 in 1850 to 0.51 in 1860, and the share of national income earned by the top 1% of the income distribution rose from 8.5% in 1774 to 9.2% in 1850 to 10% in I860. (15) The Civil War reduced inequality in the South but increased inequality in the North: the top 1% income share reached 18% in 1913, and the fraction of all assets held by the wealthiest 1% of U.S.
