Did you read infoworld?  New NeXTs are in prototype that have a Moto 88110
that runs at 50-60 MIPS.  The chip can handle some DSP and should cost
the same as current NeXTs.  It will also come with a Moto 96002 compression
chip that handles all of the functions of the NeXTdimension board.
That means they will drop the i860 and C-Cube compresstion chip.

I don't know what form the machine will be in.  The article says they have
a prototype NextStation which triples the performance of the black cube.
From this statement, I assume infoworld are just idiots.
