The first one of many ... but $1 is the price for 1k probably. However, 
imho, once these things start rolling, byebye 8 bitters, 16 bitters, 
it's been nice to meet you, etc. With those parameters it is competitive 
with MCS51 compatible low cost cores, and about 20 times faster. And 
this is just the first of many.
