I hate to judge them although I'm sure I do often without realizing.  I 
think I understand the sea-of-computers concept and agree that it's time 
has come.  Goodness, I think they are in a 150 nm process or something 
around that.  Imagine what they could have at 22 nm!  But you need more 
than just CPUs to succeed in pretty much any embedded market.  It is 
mostly about I/O I think.

But as you say, there is a lot of work involved in bringing out any new 
product and such a different CPU is a hard sell not to mention the work.
