Well, rumor has it that IBM, Sun, HP, and DEC will all be announcing new RISC workstations November 10th or so. The DEC unit will supposedly do 200 MIPS on a single 200 MHz Alpha CPU (twice the MIPS of an IBM 3090/600J mainframe!). Assuming it comes in under $20,000 it would hit NeXT's target ratio of $100 per MIP. If so, NeXT will have to respond promptly with some announcements of their own to avoid the appearance of being behind in development. Two or four 50 MHz 88110's should compete nicely; we'll have to wait and see if that's what NeXT actually does. -- Walter C.
