- >The designers of the T9000 can tell you of one way, but another way is
- ^^^^^
- This CPU was announced (well, all but "released") last April in the USA.
- In South Africa, a "launch" was held in about June along the same lines
- as the US thrash (ie: the same videos, similar speeches about how great
- the chip "was", and how exciting wormhole routing was going to be).
-
- I was pretty excited myself, what with the age of the T800 starting to
- show, and so forth. Since then, I've not had much time to work in the
- parallel computing field, and I've heard/seen less than zilch about inmos
- in the last year. So -- wot happened?
-
- Has T9000 silicon ever appeared? Have inmos gone under? Will we ever see
- the C104?
