[comp.arch] Scoop on Intel N-10?

robison@m.cs.uiuc.edu (02/17/89)

There was a blurb on Intel's N-10 processor in the Chicago Tribune
today.  It was announced at the Int. Solid State Circuits Conference.  
The only technical info in the Tribune is that the N-10 is a 64-bit 
processor with a five times bigger than usual chip size, and does 150 MIPS.  
(Whatever that means!)

What's the N-10's architecture?  Floating point?  Vector?  MIMD?
Just really fast transistors?  Enquiring minds want to know.
