It more or less has been annouced Sam Tramiel talks about the Jaguar II and 
its chip set in Ultimate Gamer.In the interview he is asked to tell more 
about Jaguar II and he replies that they have got the first working 
silicon.The chips are called Oberon and Puck.They're characters from A 
Midsummer Night's Dream.The guys working on the team in Sunnyvale are of 
British descent and they call it "Oberon and Puck" and the "Midsummer 
Project"

When asked how many bits the Jaguar II will be he replies it's a 64 bit 
system.Much faster ,more use of the 64-bit Architecture,runs on a higher quad
 speed.Has much more impressive 3-D stuff going on.Beyond PlayStation,beyond 
Jaguar today,beyond Saturn today.Use Point-five Micron technology.

...  Read the docs? Wow, what a radical concept!
