Often the chip manufacturers "probe" the market with new product ideas
before any realisation of the product. Just to see if is there an interest
for it and if a critical mass will be reached. That's not new!!
But I think they want offer a more up-to-date alternative to their
high-speed 8051 micros. I don't think they sell often that beast - running
at 5 volts with 1 watt power consumption for the 50 MIPS device, with such a
bad 8051 op-code set (Inefficient for high-level progs. I know what I'm
saying as an ex-Phytec employee).

The question is why they don't make ARM devices.
