I don't know where I've been, but this is the first time I've seen anything about the announcement: http://www.slashgear.com/intel-stellarton-atom-e600fpga-promises-flexible-embedded-devices-14102251/ While the Atom processor is not very powerful, pairing it with a full fledged FPGA sounds promising for SDR that can work using fixed-point algorithms. Has anyone else heard about this processor? Is anyone else interested in it?
I heard about it the other day from a friend involved in the video business. It is not clear from the press release if they expose IO's for connecting to data converters though. The combination is interesting for a number of applications, but for SDR you really want the data converters directly connected to the FPGA.

I saw Altera is going to release Qsys which will support the processor/FPGA design flow: http://www.altera.com/b/embedded-fpga-design-flow.html?GSA_pos=1&WT.oss_r=1&WT.oss=qsys What are other people's thoughts?
