I just saw that AMD was taking over 'Alchemy Semiconductor', a company that makes high performance MIPS based precessors. I wonder what the future has in store for this...

Now that would be an FPU monster! As long as it's ARM compatible, or better yet, x86!

actually, if they make one, cool.. but would be a strain

Mac don't make mobile chips, and even if they did, they would be WAY less powerful than the desktop versions and be running at speeds of 150-250Mhz anyway, so, whats the use?

BUT, it would be a MIPS basd processor, so add it to the list of MIPS machines...
