Apples Newton uses a UK chip called the Acorn 610.  32 bit, lots of  
registers, orthogonal instruction set, a speed that is faster than the  
68040, and all in something like 32000 transistors.

 Assuming the truth of this, that I haven't mangled this too badly:

1.  How do they get all this in only 32000 transistors?  Ok, even  
without cache, FPU and MMU?

2.  Something this simple should be cheap to make.  Why haven't we  
started to see machines with a hoard of these on board?  Think about a  
machine with 1 of these dedicated to the screen, 1 to handling IO, a  
dozen to slave for you...
