    No overclocking of 1.2 GHz Mamba to 1.4 GHz needed as APM86691 and APM86692 ("Black Mamba") got announced running at up to 1.4 GHz:

    So for now the PacketPro family of chips has those members:

    APM86190 (Green Mamba, single-core)
    APM86290 (Green Mamba, dual-core)
    APM8639x (Diamondback, single-core and dual-core)
    APM86491 (Catalina, single-core)
    APM8669x (Black Mamba, single-core and dual-core)
    APM86791 (Keelback, single-core)

    I assume that there's an APM8659x still to come ;-)
