Re:http://www.us.design-reuse.com/news/news13533.html

this from my son: "This is substantial in my opinion in the enterprise market, and perhaps even the lower-end segments. It might even introduce some competition between hardware providers as an advantage can be attained say, by introducing an Apache SSL coprocessor that smokes for banks, or a very specialized matrix linear algebra chip for movie animations. Software providers can take this and get involved in relatively simple hardware design for specialized applications .... Maya, Apache (mod_ssl mostly), MySQL, DB2.

I suspect some of the reason Google picked this chip is for this feature. My guess is there are algorithms that x86 (probably most others too ... ) blows chunks for, that you can quickly fabricate a specialized chip for it in Verilog or VHDL, and speed things up 1000%.

Depending on how easy it is to design this stuff, I'd say it's a killer product.

Post this if you feel like it."
