The PRISM CPU ran at 18.18 MHz, and was Apollo's
own design. I believe
that after HP bought Apollo in 1989, features of the PRISM were either
merged into the PA-RISC architecture, or taken to develop the PA-RISC.
Don't quote me on that though.
I'm pretty sure at least the PA-RISC FPU is from the PRISM, according
to the sources I have, and possibly made some contributions to the overall
architecture as well.
