#179407 - RE: frozen?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I gave them the benefit of the doubt that their claim, "un-matched processing power" could be just marketing hyperbole:

Maybe a more cynical view is that they really don't understand state of the art in microcontrollers today?

There are some other rather odd statements in their blurb; eg,
I2I Controls said:
This makes the 89C450 microcontroller the worlds fastest pin compatible 8051 in the industry today

Who cares about pin-compatible today?
And, if you're using a board like this, pin-compatibility is irrelevant anyhow!

If you drop the pin-compatible restriction, I don't think that the 89C450 is the fastest 8051-deviative in the industry today?

I think Richard will point out that the 89C450 does have some unique feature of its own - so why not emphasise those, rather than this rather spurious one?!
