Rod, PGP1000 PCP1000 PTC1000 Uh huh, and after a few beers you might even mistake the name for picoJava too!!! Stay away from the fridge Rod! Cap

rod- if you are not too drunk enough to count, you'll be able to tell the difference-- picojava will be the one requiring the extra thousands of transistors. bob

You can tell the difference in your pocketbook. Tens of thousands less transistors means less silicon and less dough. Also, for many applications (heavily I/O based) the psc1000 will perform better straight up. That said, picojava, whenever it is finally out, will have more of the JVM hardwired so it stands to outperform shboom for some applications. Does anyone have any benchmarking data, now that Patriot has done so optimizing of its Java for PSC1000? Joe
