Motorola Inc says its 88000 RISC is now in full volume production at speeds of 20MHz and 25MHz, and it rates the latter at 21 MIPS, which it reckons makes it the highest-performance microprocessor available in volume, with higher clock speeds on the way: it also says new benchmarks show that the 25MHz part delivers 48,387 dhrystones and 25,000 Kwhetsones; the 20MHz 88100 is $494 and the 88200 at $619 in unit quantities, the 25MHz 88100 is $697, the 88200, $875 quantity one.
