I meant as an DSP core inside some larger chip, not as free standing DSP. It does not make much sense to design a chip that just contains a Tensillica core and nothing else because you lose all of the customizability and the market for such a thing probably is not big enough to offset the NRE and licensing costs (obviously, with Espressif stuff being the exception, but the RF part in there is pretty significant part of the design).
