 ST Micro originally wanted this design team to work on an Intel IA-32 clone, but eventually the team was used for non-personal computer SOCs.It is rumored that Metaflow collaborated with the Intel team that would eventually design the Pentium Pro, the first commercially available "Out-of-Order" x86 processor.Following STMicroelectronics' acquisition in May 1997 of a majority stake in Metaflow, the relationship between the companies soured.
