Hi Timothy,
I'm the proud owner of a RCS Fusion 40 and it has performed flawlessly
for me. Couldn't be happier! I didn't buy my as soon as they came out
(about 6 months after) so I didn't experience any of the bugs that I
assume other people encountered.
I have called RCS numerous times inquireing about there NEW Fusion 40
Sixty (that is the official new name). They sent me a fax with the specs
etc... here is some of the info off of the fax...
Cache size - 8K x 2 (twice the 040)
MIPS - 61.2 - 68 (50MHz version, 66MHz will obviously be faster)
MFLOPS - n/a (?????? why?)
Superscalar - Yes
Voltage - 3.0 watts (compared to the 040's 5.0 watts!)
So there you go! Sounds like a speedy little sucker! Now if Motorolla
would just ship the DARN thing!! RCS told me they have the A2000 version
ready to go and the A4000 version will be ready after they start shipping
the A2000 version.
Please note, that I aquired this information over a month and a half
ago. Things may have changed. I think its time to give RCS another call!
Hope this helps.
