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.

Hehe. Okay. I do wonder, sometimes.

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.

I'll be looking at the parts, at least. No specific application in
mind, just to be aware for now.

Thanks,
Jon
