MIPS, a subsidiary od Silicon Graphics has announced the shipping of the R10000
processor, touted to be the fastest peice of silicon on the planet. Keep your
eyes open. Priliminary spec92 I've seen numbers look like 300specINT,
600specFP.
from mips web page.
"The four-way superscalar R10000 microprocessor can fetch four instructions and
issue up to five instructions per cycle. Furthering its performance, the R10000
processor has five independent fully pipelined, low-latency execution units. To
speed data flow, the processor supports large register files and features a
large on-chip primary cache with 32 kilobytes for instructions and 32 kilobytes
for data. The R10000 microprocessor also features an on-chip secondary cache
controller for supporting 512 kilobytes to 16 megabytes of synchronous
secondary cache, ensuring the ability to build a wide range of computer
systems. Both the primary and secondary caches are two-way set associative to
improve the data and instruction hit rate. The innovative MIPS Avalanche(tm)
bus enables split transactions--the ability for two or more operations to
overlap their execution at the same time. The Avalanche bus can hold up to
eight outstanding transactions at one time prior to execution. "
