- I picked up a copy of Byte today, and aside from a mediocre
- review of NeXT (no fair, they placed a mono classic slab against machines
- priced in the $10-$36,000 range and complained), there was a blurb about
- some new RISC chip: the IMS3250 which is supposed to run at 100 Mhz, 90 Mips,
- and be able to emulate both a 486@25Mhz and a 68040@30Mhz. Here's the
- kicker: it's supposed to cost between $50 and $60 in production quantities.
- Wonder what effect this'll have on the industry? Heheh...imagine: NeXTSTEP
- and NeXTSTEP486 on the same box. :)
