To quote: Performance: 100 MIPS, 20 MFLOPS Serial links: 100 Mbits/second Will support virtual links via an on-chip packet network controller, which will be able to through-route messages to other processors without tying up the CPU. Will have hardware memory-management/protection to allow standard operating systems like UNIX to run efficiently. The DRAM controller will support static column mode access. Will have a large cache. Will not be available until 1991. Keep your fingers crossed.
