According to the rags I have seen, Apollo is using a new (and apparently
proprietary) design of RISC called Prism.  Prism stands for something like
Parallel Reduced Instruction Set Multiprocessing.  I don' know anything
else about the architecture, although if anyone can supply info, please do.
The announcement says that it can do 15 to <lots -- 100?> mips, by adding
in more processors.  Sounds like they must have had to conquer some
interesting problems to build one of these...
