Was not Mitch himself involved in design of hyperSPARC that eventually
reached very respectable clock frequency?

We got HyperSPARC up to 200 MHz and had a 250 MHz version in debug.
This was 20%-25% slower that the competition on the "average" SPARC
workload, but for some reason the "wall street traders" bought ship-
loads of them as they were somewhat faster than SuperSPARC or
UltraSPARC on that kind of workload--where milliseconds faster
means millions of dollars.
