You need to define "80 mips" more carefully.  The SX is oriented
toward control applications and bit-twiddling for HW interfacing,
while you said you wanted a heavy duty compute engine.  An SX has
limited Flash and RAM, and may not be a good choice for a compute
engine, compared to (for instance) 16 bit DSPICs running at a lower
clock rate but capable of doing 16bit math, or an ARM doing "only"
60 mips, but with 32bit operands.

In any case, the SX chips are pretty narrowly sourced, even compared
to most single-source micros.  As far as  I know, parallax is about
the only place to get SX chips and tools...
