200MHz PowerPC 603e microprocessor available now; Motorola offers extremely aggressive pricing on high-performance, low-power 200MHz 603e microprocessors.AUSTIN, TX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 1996--Motorola continues to lead the industry in price/performance for the volume desktop and high-performance notebook markets with its 200MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. PowerPC 603e microprocessor microprocessor, integrated circuit containing the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to interpret and execute instructions from a computer program. . Announced in mid-May and available now for $360 in quantities of 1,000, the 200MHz 603e chip will be incorporated into systems before the end of 1996 from several systems vendors, including Apple Computer, Motorola Computer Group, Power Computing Not to be confused with the extant computer hardware company also called Power Computing. Power Computing was a short-lived manufacturer of Apple Macintosh-compatible computers. and UMAX Computing computing - computer Corporation. This microprocessor offers faster performance than Intel's fastest Pentium processor available today. Systems driven by the 200MHz PowerPC 603e chip are currently being demonstrated at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan. CONTACT: Cunningham Communication Inc.
