A REPORT ON EE Times said that a Chinese company is close to introducing a 500MHz microprocessor which it will point in the general direction of home grown PC firm Legend.

The chip is called Godson-2, so really it's Son of Godson, which TecChannel wrote about in October last year.

Like Godson One, it will have MIPS compatible instruction sets and will be backwards compatible with the first iteration of the chip.

These processors will be sold into the embedded market, and you can read more about the breakthrough here. µ
