The 65265 is a real chip, though nothing like a Cray on a chip.  It is GS
software compatable, but is designed as a single chip computer, with
4 UARTS, 2 sign wave generators, timers, parrallel I/O, etc. all on the
chip.  Due to pin limitations, if you want to use very much external
memory, you have to give up some of the above features.

They are planning on going to 20MHz with it eventually.
