i am interested in getting a list of current generation in Microprocessors, only CPUs ; as far as i am sure the only ones i am aware are the i486 INTEL, 68040 Motorolla; i know a lot exist, but am not sure of their names/numbers; (mind you only CPUs); could use some help in this; -thanx -savel

It is used e.g. in the R200 series of UNIX workstations from Acorn. Torben Mogensen (torbenm@diku.dk)
