The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (ieee) calls the PSC1000 a "screamer"

That's what I mean, too. Look at ptsc.com
This processor is a slight modification of, and successor to, the
ShBoom. It runs native Forth, and Java is so close to that that it's
simple to construct a JVM on it. That's the current marketing emphasis.
For it's transistor count, it's a screamer.
