NEC V60

  • ... that the NEC V60 was the first 32-bit general-purpose microprocessor commercially available in Japan?

NEC V70 microprocessor

  • ALT 1: ... that a space-grade version of the NEC V70 microprocessor (regular version pictured) was the main compute module of the Japanese H-IIA launch vehicles?

  • Symbol question.svg Good on expansion and quality, etc., but there are some bare URL sources or otherwise poorly formatted references. Hook #1 is otherwise good. As to the alt hook, it should be computer module, which needs to be fixed in the article as well. Also, if possible, a third party source for the alt hook would be preferred. I thought there was a rule that the hook fact was considered an extraordinary fact, and this is an article on an NEC product and the source is NEC. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:40, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
  • I don't think ALT2 is an extraordinary fact that NEC can't be trusted with (given that they were the contractors for the computing part of the rocket [for the new one too]), but won't insist. (The new, post-2011 computer [HR5000] can be confirmed from a JAXA press kit [1] as well, though I can't find anything on-line not published by NEC for the pre-2011 part.) I don't see any problems left with the links, someone ran reflinks over them a while back, and I've just a couple leftovers. Someone not using his real name (talk) 13:23, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
