The 80C400 is *capable* of 75 Mhz with 10 nsec SRAM for code and data. This 
memory is not practical as NVRAM (you'd need a motorcycle battery or a 
stack of D cells). There is no Flash memory fast enough, so such a system 
would not currently be able to use the standard TINIOS. Current available 
SRAM is 55 or 70 nsec access time, flash is 70 or 90 nsec.

So the C400 is *capable* of faster speeds but in all but specialized cases 
it isn't practical because there is no adjustment for the speed of code 
memory, and there is no practical high speed code memory.

In other words, it's marketing vs reality.
