[sdiy] FW: ARM Launches Class-Leading Cortex-M4 Processor for High Performance Digital Signal Control - MarketWatch

[cheater cheater]

Terry,
Cool news, thanks!
Can you tell us what its strong points are as opposed to the other
DSPs on the market right now? Unfortunately I don't know much about
what's going on, but it looks fairly interesting. Here's a quote:

>The Cortex-M4 processor features a single-cycle multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit, optimized single instruction multiple data (SIMD) instructions, saturating arithmetic instructions and an optional single precision Floating-Point Unit (FPU).

They also talk about how it has an integrated uC rather than being a
dedicated DSP. Which is cool.

I'm not sure how this compares to the other stuff out there, though,
so I'm probably missing the important point anyways.
