Then why did you state that the 2 GHz version of the 88F6281 was "due for release this year" when you even knew that there's only 1.2 GHz max, opposed to the announcement?

I rather call that "being behind" and "ignoring when announcements get superseded by reality" :-P

Yes, for people who are interested in a non-superscalar, in-order ARMv5 chip :-P

Do you know how much slower a 600 MHz superscalar ARMv7 CPU is compared to a 1.2 GHz non-superscalar ARMv5 CPU?
