``SiByte Inc. has announced the mercurian
processor SB-1250, a single chip
containing two MIPS64 CPU capable of running up to
1GHz, plus a 512kByte L2 Cache, PCI, gigabit ethernet (3)
and serial (2) interfaces. The whole chip consumes a
mere 10 Watts with both processors and all interfaces
running at full speed. While it is targeted at networking
and communications systems, wouldn't you like to have
a notebook allowing to carry with you that much
processing power? The chip will be able in volume mid
next year, and the data sheet states, they will provide
support for porting NetBSD and Linux to it.''
