comparison of scenix vs avr is pointless anyway,
since the chips have been designed with different
purposes in mind from scratch.
The avr targets a rather large scope of applications,
while the scenix chips have been designed to do
only 1 thing at a time, but to do it very fast (hence
the concept of "Virtual Peripheral")...
