Still the question is what those other two "TBA FY2010" products at 40 nm are. After all, it's 2011 by now and I'm not aware of anything else than APM86x90/Mamba meeting this spec.
So what do you think they might do?
What are those two unaccounted for products likely to feature?
So far their products have only advanced a short distance from their licensed IBM origins.
Do they have the engineers needed to move forward with more advanced technologies? They're using TMSC for fabrication, so they don't have to worry about process and foundry issues.
But can they move to 64 bit processors, multi-cored processors(>2), processor that run >2Ghz?
By the time Mamba is introduced, the 5010 and 5020 will be available.
