Paramesh Gopi - Applied Micro Circuits Corporation - President and CEO
[...] During fiscal year 2011, Applied Micro introduced eight new products, of which, five were processor SoCs.

If I'm not mistaken fiscal year 2011 has started in October 2010. Since then Applied Micro announced two Mamba SoCs in December 2010 and two Diamondback SoCs in March 2011, which makes four SoCs altogether. Where's the fifth? Did Gopi talk prematurely again like he did last time and #5 will be announced during the next few months? According to the roadmap it should become the fastest PacketPro processor till then. We'll see I guess.
APM86791 announced ("Keelback"):

It seems that Gopi already included this when talking about their FY2011 SoCs one month ago. But it's apparent that Applied Micro is not really following its own public roadmap as according to this the chip after Diamondback should have been faster than Mamba, yet Keelback is just as slow as Diamondback.
