Future Versions
Parallax is currently building a new Propeller with cogs that each will run at about 160 MIPS, whereas the current Propeller's cogs each run at around 20 MIPS. The improved performance would result from a maximum clock speed increase to 160 MHz (from 80 MHz) and an architecture that pipelines instructions, achieving an average execution of nearly one instruction per clock cycle (approximately a four-fold increase).

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or versions:
“I imagine, on the benches of an assembly, the most intrepid of thinkers, a brilliant mind, one of those men who, when they ascend the tribune, feel it beneath them like the tripod of the oracle, suddenly grow in stature and become colossal, surpass by a head the massive appearances that mask reality, and see clearly the future over the high, frowning wall of the present.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
