And now the floodgates start to open... Tilera Ships

Hey;

Finally the new Sun chip has some competition. There is a good link dealing with this product here.

I am a bit surprised that the chip doesn't just have memory, not L2 if it is intended for embedded applications. I think the real story is that it is intended to be more general purpose but the embedded market for H.264 and other applications seemed a bit easier to penetrate near term.

In the future expect to see chips like this optimized for embedded applications.
