[comp.arch] Using Intel's 80960

bobh@intermec.UUCP (Bob Hubert x6877) (11/11/89)

We are considering using Intel's 80960KA in our "laser-printer-like"
application. I would appreciate input from anyone who has experience using the
80960KA/KB/MC *or* any reasons someone might have decided against using it.

We are not considering the CA version (claiming 2 instructions per clock and
66 MIPS sustained!), so no need to comment on that unless it relates to the
KA/KB/MC versions.

Thanks.
