So what is XMOS good for?

What does having it on board do for the AmigaONe machine?  So far all I know is that it's integer only and you could fry your motherboard if you hook power up to it wrong.  While those maybe considered selling points, what else does it do?

[persia]

Not useless, merely uselessly attached to the X1000.

C'mon guys, at least give some developers a chance to play with it before writing it off as useless.

So now we know it's slower than USB, has only 64K ram and has no no direct access to system ram...  Curiouser, and curiouser.  Unless these boards have some sort of other use and they were able to piggy back the Amiga One production onto a much larger production order...
