I just read the following article in Unigram.X(*) newsletter, which I include
below verbatim and without comment (reprinted with kind permission):

			  NEXT TAKES ON 88110 CPU FOR
			     NEW RISC WORKSTATION
    NeXT Computer Inc has decided to go ahead and adopt the Motorola
    Inc 88000 RISC according to Microbytes Daily, which hears from "a
    source that wishes to remain anonymous" that NeXT is planning to
    announce in October a workstation based on two 88100 RISCs.  The
    machine is said to be code-named NRW - NeXT RISC Workstation
    presumably - and will include real-time video compression to disk
    and may also support FDDI.  The 88110 combines the functionality
    of the 88100 CPU and the 88200 cache and memory management units
    on a single chip and includes a high degree of parallelism;
    Motorola rates it at 63 SPECmarks.  It says the chip will support
    three-dimensional colour graphics in addition to parallel
    operation, and the Mach operating system used in the NeXT can
    support multiple processes via threads.  The box is to be about
    $100 per MIPS.
