        ``SiByte Inc. has announced the mercurian
          processor SB-1250, a single chip
          containing two MIPS64 CPU capable of running up to
          1GHz, plus a 512kByte L2 Cache, PCI, gigabit ethernet (3)
          and serial (2) interfaces. The whole chip consumes a
          mere 10 Watts with both processors and all interfaces
          running at full speed. While it is targeted at networking
          and communications systems, wouldn't you like to have
          a notebook allowing to carry with you that much
          processing power? The chip will be able in volume mid
          next year, and the data sheet states, they will provide
          support for porting NetBSD and Linux to it.''
