MOTOROLA LICENSES THOMSON TO MAKE 88000 RISC – BUT ONLY FOR MILITARY

Although it wants to keep 68020s and 30s to itself, Motorola Inc has agreed to allow Thomson-CSF SA to second source the 88000 RISC microprocessors – but only for use in military and aerospace applications. Thomson gets the 88100, 88200 and future parts.
