  The numbers are shown in GIPS.  So it just doesn't make sense
comparing different architectures in GIPS.  Or they just allocated as
many transistors for floating units as possible?  (Do campany use
disadvantageous measure to advertise their product?)

  "Nintendo" means the old (red & white colored) one?  I think its CPU
is a 6502 variant.  How fast an Smalltalk system would run on the
machine?

  Yes.  It's a variant of WinCE.  I don't know how the development
tool looks like, but they say it becomes much easier to develop a
software for DC. ("Dreamcast" is the name)

  The press release says that the development tool for the next PS is
running on Linux.  Sony knows how to do the business:-) (In fact, the
compiler for current PS is gcc).
