How could they be wrong! Why is Moore`s name on this Patent with Patriot as assignee! Can Moore`s name be here as assignee without him knowing, I don`t think so. Both fish and Moore appear right in front of my eyes. I could see doubt if only Fish`s name appeared. Can someone explain this, thanks

High performance microprocessor having variable speed system clock

Abstract

A high performance, low cost microprocessor system having a variable speed system clock is disclosed herein. The microprocessor system includes an integrated circuit having a central processing unit and a ring oscillator variable speed system clock for clocking the microprocessor. The central processing unit and ring oscillator variable speed system clock each include a plurality of electronic devices of like type, which allows the central processing unit to operate at a variable processing frequency dependent upon a variable speed of the ring oscillator variable speed system clock. The microprocessor system may also include an input/output interface connected to exchange coupling control signals, address and data with the central processing unit. The input/output interface is independently clocked by a second clock connected thereto.
