They both originated at Intel, and the 196 core came after
the C51, but there the similarities end.

The 196 is a 16 bit register-register architecture. IIRC the
opcodes allowed 256 register-pages.

The 196 is still in production, but never made it into FLASH
process, so is not  'for new designs'

The slightly later, and 'similar market space' Infineon C166 family
did make it into FLASH.
