There is also YMOS, but not chip-related. :lol:

On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

It is kinda foolish for a fabless semiconductor start-up to go in the memory business with standard products.
Margins for the big boys like Samsung, Hynix, Elpida, Numonix etc are already pretty low (especially on the DRAM market).

About names: There is also an x86 based processor (some 186 derivative) called Xcore86:

(XMOS is already aware of it)

Hah wow that's interesting, it's never really been brought up in the office here so I've never heard of them before, but as Paul said they don't look very active!

Indeed and when xcore.com started up it was having trouble getting through some blockers.
