So where do I buy one and test it myself. I love the theory, and some of the claims are awesome, but I am reminded of the Cell-BE and the chatter around it at release time. It wasen't untill we got the Cell into the hands of developers that we learned it's real limitations. I want a Mill I can write programs for and run benchmarks against. My benchmarks on my bench.

They would need to staff up hardware design, verification, performance modelers, compiler writers, OS and software teams, and license all the necessary EDA software (simulators, waveform viewers, etc). My guess would be a minimum $20 million to get it to a solid FPGA prototype in 3 years. Then if that were successful they could spent another $25 million and get it into silicon at a good process (20nm or below).
