Sometimes the Emperor really doesn't have any clothes.....

XMOS is a wonderful microcontroller, but attaching it to a 1700 quid computer doesn't add anything to either XMOS or the computer.  A food processor is a wonderful invention, so is a TV, but attaching the food processor to the TV doesn't give extra value to either the TV or Food Processor.

Clearly the XMOS chip is on the motherboard because the Military (UK and/or US) had a specific use for such a device and since Verisys can make a few quid slogging it to the Military.  That's why they threw it on for not much extra money...

Perhaps it's for a drone that won't land when you muck up the GPS....
