] The design seems to be a mix of the Parallax Propeller, the old
] Transputer and the GreenArray Forth chip.
] Each singel risc cpu has its own FPU!
] The ARM is used as Linux frontend, the FPGA as bridge to the so called
] Epiphany processor.

This is over the top!!

OTOH, separate processors for sound, video, USB could make sense.

It's not the hardware that counts, it's the whole eco-system.
Microsoft's success is based [initially] on not forcing users to lose their
previous investment ...of DOS.
