What is the reasoning behind that constraint?

VR4133 from NEC. VR7701, if power consumption is not a big concern.

MIPS sounds like a good alternative ..... will definetely look into
that... sounds like ARM does not support FPU....
just a follow up... I have nothing against the IBM,Motorola,Intel,AMD
products that I identified... as a matter of fact we use them quite a
bit.. its just that this embedded project requires a non PowerPC or
Pentium (x86) CPU...... hence my difficulty in finding CPU's that rival
them...
still need to look for 2nd choice to MIPS...

Depending on what you really want the FPU for (if it can be
replaced by DSP fixedpoint instructions) the TriCore might
be interesting:
http://www.infineon.com/cgi/ecrm.dll/ecrm/scripts/prod_cat.jsp?oid=-8138
Probabely a bit slow on throughput though. But then again,
it _is_ a Triple (independent) Core architecture. Never used
it myself, but it does look intriguing.

How about Renesas (ex. Hitachi) SH4? 300MIPS for the "slowest" part, 430MIPS for
the higher end devices. (according to Renesas web site)

This list does not include TI, Analog Devices, Philips,
Infineon, NEC, Renesas, MIPS, ARM... so plenty to research...

ARM9 normally does not have the FPU and is more typical 200 MIPS.
You will need ARM11 and there are not plenty around.

I believe there are ARM9 CPUs around that run that fast. I won't tell
you to look at the Intel StrongARM :) But you can start at the ARM web
site. If you nose around you will find a vendor list of chip makers.
If you can't find it, I can email you a copy. They do hide it pretty
well.

Why not an IBM PowerPC. Failing that, try one of the MIPS CPUs (e.g.
PMC-Sierra has a powerful MIPS with FPU). Does ARM have an FPU?
