> Now that there is an 80 MHz sparc out, how will this affect Prisma's chip?

Prisma is not developing a chip - they are developing a system, with a
cpu built out of many chips.   And they are targeting several times the
performance level of the BIT SPARC.  What the will actually achieve is
another question.
