no, it does not
"The ready-made board from SiLabs" and the USB dongle and ICE functionality and a 4k Keil eval cost $100

Supplying every techie we have with dongles, I have lots of SILabs devboards bought simply because the devboard is virtually free when you subtract the price of the dongle that comes with it. Thus I can not state this as a fact, but tend to believe that if you decide to use a SILabs devboard for 'production' you can negotiate a far lower price when excluding dongle and software. This, of course, has no bearing on supplying/requiring a devboard as a learning tool which is what this tread is about.

Here's what I was thinking about:
C8051F120DK Development Kit for C8051F120, F121, F122, F123, F124, F125, F126, F127, F130, F131, F132 and F133 MCUs $99

   What about PLCC?            01/01/70 00:00      
      interesting, but ...            01/01/70 00:00      
         A PLCC Socket is solderable            01/01/70 00:00      
         OOPS            01/01/70 00:00      
            I was wondering...            01/01/70 00:00      
               PLC, not PLCC            01/01/70 00:00      
      better if socketed            01/01/70 00:00      
         Socketed - Yes            01/01/70 00:00      
            perhaps you have missed the point            01/01/70 00:00

   leave it            01/01/70 00:00      
      that makes sense to me ...            01/01/70 00:00      
   simple is still good....            01/01/70 00:00      
      why bother            01/01/70 00:00      
         last time I bought 32KB SRAM I paid $0.48US            01/01/70 00:00      
         use part of a bigger one            01/01/70 00:00      
            that's not really a problem...            01/01/70 00:00      
               it is a problem if you rely on DIL packaging            01/01/70 00:00      
                  what is your definition of "obsoleted"?            01/01/70 00:00

   Thanks for comments, keep them coming            01/01/70 00:00      
      nothing comes free...            01/01/70 00:00      
         or            01/01/70 00:00      
         No problem with other design            01/01/70 00:00      
      How about a mezzanine board ... and some tools?            01/01/70 00:00      
         with some really slick code ...            01/01/70 00:00
