  Recent discussion here in Australia is presently centred on whether
RISC will eventually displace the conventional microprocessor. OK, so
Motorola has the 88000 and Intel the i860. Does anyone have specifications
that would point towards the eventual demise of the present CISC? ie.
FP performance, bus read/write cycles, caching, etc, etc.
