"I am wondering though, why the price list does not include higher speed grades of this processor."

That could be considered supporting evidence for Pete's conjecture, an idea I have become enamored with. There seems to be a developing market for such things, 3Com's Audrey and Compaq's extension of the iPaq brand is another (dunno if they actually sell, though). Currently the only choices are very low performance like the K6-2 or VIA's chips, or to use a mobile chip, which is expensive. This would be somewhere in-between. If used with NVidia's Crush (assuming that makes it to market), it could offer an interesting choice for a more open XBox-alike...
