Re: "All of that happened a while ago, remember the bulk of the StrongArm team walked when Intel took over, started a new company (Alchemy), and did a mew design with a new architecture (MIPS) that is competitive with the XScale, in processor power and power consumption. And it's availability is is probably better than XScale, as far as I can tell there are some samples for XScale, but development boards are still not available." That's understandable. So--just how is Alchemy doing these days?
