 and our 5-volt only flash memory devices. Both set new quarterly sales records.

"The successful transition to 0.5-micron process technology late last year enabled us to increase overall Am486 unit shipments by more than 50 percent compared to the immediate prior quarter, Sanders said. "We are selling a richer mix of higher-speed versions of the Am486 microprocessor. In the quarter, we saw robust customer demand for 80 and 100 MHz (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.  486 devices. We shipped more than 50 percent of our 486s at 80 MHz or higher speeds."
