You're kidding, right?  It's either a MIPS R6000 or an IBM RS6000.
The MIPS R6000 is the CPU for the MIPS RC6280 system, which runs at
60MHz or some ridiculously high number.  The IBM RS6000 is the CPU
for the IBM workstation series by the same name.

Do you mean that SGI is working on machines based on faster CPUs, or
that SGI is designing and/or fabricating its own CPUs?
