Seems the first expanded info on Zilog's new ZNEO is appearing:

"powerful math functions, 32-bit ALU supporting 8-, 16-, and 32-bit
operations, embedded 32x32 multiply/64x32 divide operations, and 16-bit
bus widths, the ZNEO Z16F delivers a powerful, yet cost effective
microcontroller solution.

This seems very interesting! Zilog typically charges a bit too much for
their MCUs (their Acclaim costs more than many Arms that outperform it
by a wide margin), but the ZNEO prices posted at Mouser seem to be very
competitive. This will be something to watch.


Non-stock, every one. Perhaps prices may change when they actually
get some parts to ship?

Of course - that's because this is 'pre launch web leakage'.

The $99 eval kit shows delivery due late this month, and the devices show a few more weeks out. (fairly typical new product roll-out)

There is not much point in Mouser playing loose on prices: The buy button seems to be alive, and stock is shown as on order.

Looks like ZiLOG will be in a position quite similar to Freescale,
who also pitch a "common tool chain", and have a new Coldfire V1 core
'comming', but further out than ZENO.
