There was an small article in yesterday's WSJ about MIPS Tech licensing the new 64-bit Ruby uP to Toshiba and NEC. IDT is currently also a MIP license holder, but they are absent from this article. The new uP can execute "an estimated one billion instructions per second" and is targeted to next-gen video game systems, TV set-top boxes etc.

I would think that IDT would have to stay competitive in the MIPS area -- too much business to just ignore it, especially with leading edge uP designs.

Another division of IDT ClearLogic has been pretty silent. I was looking at their web site and found this bold statement:

Clear Logic management believes that it may be able to offer the world's fastest product term-based logic device at a future date.

I would be nice if they provided some info to backup this statement, rather than just leaving it as many of the unfilled predictions. IMHO, state of the art is 4-5 nsec, pin-to-pin, for product term logic.

Product Road Map - During 1999, Clear Logic intends to introduce several families of LPLD devices that will support all Altera MAX 7000, MAX 7000S, MAX 7000E and MAX 7000A CPLD products with 96 or more macrocells. CL7000 LPLDs will be available in all the speed grades, supply voltages, and production packages currently offered by Altera. The first CL7000 devices will be introduced during the first quarter of 1999.
