Totally uninteresting unless you're doing something embedded, I would say (hint, only 7-series and possibly 8-series chips are any good for desktops. 8 because that's where the G5 is surfacing...)

Well, to be fair:
It's an embedded chip with SIMD and a few other nifty things. 300MHz core is plenty for a LOT of applications (hey, I'm running an embedded 486 here, stop laughing :-) )

Hmm, I hadn't seen that FPGA before. That's one awesome beast. Guess who'se surfing through the user manual right now :-)
