	From what I have heard, The chip set is reduced to one chip that
incorporates the CPU, the FPU and th MMU onto a 68 pin monster that drops
about 5 watts of juice. The clock is up to a speed of 31 MHz, and the
instructions are not all implemented directly, some of the rare/large
instructions are implemented via EMT traps. The speed places it between a
750 and a 780 (closer to the 780 I believe). This is the latest die from
Digital, and I expect more since there exist some timing problems, and some
undocumented bugs/features that are be quite annoying.
