I am wondering: Does anyone know any hobbyist-oriented chip retailers (JDR Microdevices, etc.) that carry it? I assume I can get from distributors like Hamilton-Avnet, but they make it difficult if your'e not a corporate account. Has anyone seen performance benchmarks for this chip? I am especially interested in the performance improvment given by the cache and burst reads, and in tradeoff of processor vs. bus clock rate.
