 		 #136860 - wrong place to read
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A cheap FPGA is lower in cost than the $15US per each at q10K that SiLabs has on its website for their cheapest parts.

totally wrong

If you take a peek at digikey, you will see that e.g. a C8051F221R is 2.87@100

If you take the fast and capable, thus expensive C8051F120 you will see that the $15 you present at 10k is, actually at 100. It is not my job to disclose what it is at 10k (my volume) but common knowledge should tell you it is far less.

I just took a peek at the website and at 100 the prices are 2.43 and 16.88 from SILabs

I can find places that show just about any price, but when comparing I think you should be obliged to check a bit before postulating.

   They do work to a limited extent, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
      there's a range ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         What architecture?            01/01/70 00:00      
            805x, but modified            01/01/70 00:00      
               are you reinventing the wheel?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Yes, but it's worth the trouble            01/01/70 00:00      
                     wrong place to read            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I only looked at their site once ...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     SiLabs pricing?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        That's what they had on their website            01/01/70 00:00      
   RTFM?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Mostly, it's absence of "TFM"            01/01/70 00:00

   I hate to assume, but            01/01/70 00:00      
      "free" ... I doubt it ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         OK a recollection from a seminar            01/01/70 00:00      
            Maybe from this convention?            01/01/70 00:00      
   is FPGA a suitable "substrate" for a processor?            01/01/70 00:00      
      it's not as easy as the marketeers say ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         FPGA Software            01/01/70 00:00      
      FPGAs work fine for processors for us            01/01/70 00:00      
      FPGA-based processors            01/01/70 00:00      
         Shouldn't it do better than 50 MHz?            01/01/70 00:00      
            50 MHz is pretty fast            01/01/70 00:00
