Philips/Signetics has now officially revealed its VLIW chip.
So far, I've heard:

	2 integer ALUs
	32 bit path to memory
	6 ops/clock
		- 2 integer
		- 1 branch
		- 1 "constant generator" ??
		- 1 memory operation
		- ?that leaves one op unaccounted for?

Pretty scanty. Surely, someone out there has details?
