	            	            Max, my impression from your report and what was just released on the EE Times strikes me as an approach between that of FPGA (with onboard processors) and what was (once?) called Platform ASIC (LSI, Toshiba - with online search you might still find collateral on LSI's former RapidChip product).  The Platform ASIC was envisioned as being halfway from FPGA to custom ASIC ... 

So the embedded hard IP is a base SoC, not just a CPU as in the Xilinx Virtex, with the rest programmable a la FPGA.  Cool!	            ]]></description>
