Hello ynot, it's still a ways off. These systems are generally referred to as 4th Generation and beyond. Power consumption is a key issue for the programmable logic and reconfigurable datapath portions, and the word I get is most think .13 micron processes are necessary to achieve all the cost, density, and power goals. That could probably be considered the initial trigger.

re:<<can these chips be effectively (cheaply and efficiently) be used in combination? some in at webserver, in CO, in handsets, in PC's so they are complimentary rather than being specific and applied to one function in one location within one device?>>

One of the advantages is that such linked combinations wouldn't be necessary. The client device reconfigures itself to accommodate whatever host is available.

I posted some links to related sites a while back, but naturally I can't find them with SI's world-beater search capabilities.
