GopherBroke: Thanks for the article. Obviously premature at the moment but certainly worth tracking. Might even get it to market before the PWeeIII botched gate issue gets resolved in which case Intel might find themselves lagging a second company in the microprocessor arena...Maybe Intel should just cut bait on the PWeeIII and make some overtures for ownership in SiByte Inc...probably the shorter and less expensive route for Intel to dig out of the quagmire it currently seems to have found itself in!

Re: will launch a 64-bit MIPS-based microprocessor We ordered a NEC color laser last week largely based upon its 64bit/64 bit bus MIPS processor. We've been buying Xerox color lasers and have had reliability problems. And they were very slow, especially the first page out. We're hoping that the NEC / MIPS combo will be much faster (and less troublesome). The specs on the MIPS chips are pretty impressive. Dan

Gopher, <This chip looks interesting. Aimed at the network market, but with such a tiny die, and low power consumption an n-way on a single chip might make a cool server? Jun. 13, 2000 (Electronic Engineering Times - CMP via COMTEX) -- SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - Startup SiByte Inc. will launch a 64-bit MIPS-based microprocessor aimed at networking that will hit speeds up to 1 GHz and run on just 2.5 watts.> This is a good chip (One of Raza's investments). These guys have a lot of sharp CPU guys on the team including a bunch of old Digital guys (led by Dan D.) and a few AMD guys (including Jim Keller) and a bunch of Merced guys. I have been watching these guys for a while. These guys are going to shakeup high-end network controller market if they can deliver. Chuck
