X1000 CPU is PWRficient PA6T

I wonder if/when they will come up with a demonstration of the Xena/xcore chipset's capabilities.  Otherwise it's going to take a year or two at least before some interesting apps come out that use the chipset after the sale of the X1000 begins (by which time judgement of X1000's success will have already been judged).

Never? A-Eon doesn't care about the xs1-l1. It was marketing hype to them, they never even bothered to have the damn chip soldered onto the prototype board. For good reason too, it's completely irrelevant in a desktop system. It blew me away the hype they spun about it.

The XMOS chip in the "X1000" will probably be as much fun as the FPGA on the Sam.

It will be worse, a few idiots will probably try to make use of it and all they will achieve will be a wank and a layer of incompatibility with no actual gain for having done so.
