All I know is that there are rumors of an AMD 29000 RISC chip being
used as a graphics coprocessor, DMA (direct memory access) technology
being used for SCSI speedup, and that the whole logic board was
redesigned to take advantage of the 25 MHz 68030.

A 33 MHz version is rumored to be scheduled for early next year. Maybe
by the April Macworld Expo in San Francisco (ugh)...
