Man, I just don't believe that they got the clockrate up to 40G and
only manage 1000Mips.  40 cycles per instruction!  Sheesh!

Although I have been wondering whether it would be worthwhile these
days to put an entire PDP11 or a small PDP10 into a microcontroller
style configuration (on board memory and peripherals.)  Probably not;
they may have had wonderfully elegant assembly languages, but the
processor core itself isn't too useful unless it runs one of the
popular operating systems as well...  (Hmm.  Did RT11 and RSX and such
get released the
way the pdp-10 software did?)
