The original MSP430 CPU core is a nice piece of work.

These extended addressing MSP430s use a core called MSP430X. It's
horrible. There are Cortex-M0+ cores of similar capabilities, power
consumption and price. The only benefit here is the FRAM.

One day, TI will wake up and use FRAM with a Cortex core.
