Very excited for this. Global Foundries 22nm. We're finally all making the Cire M4->M33 jump. This feels like it's going to be the new baseline for the next like half-decade.<p>I recently have picked up some Silicon Labs boards which have been very nice too. I'd love someday to better comparative characterize their power consumption.<p>Both companies seem to be really shifting into gear on the software front to make the chips far more productizable. SiLabs is getting into Zephyr IoT. They have a huge Thread/Matter sdk they push back upstream from. Nordic has like two engineers who have just been on fire making bleeding edge BT possible on Zephyr which is gripping-my-seat great to get to witness.<p>It's so excellent to see companies that <i>want</i> to sell chips. It feels like bigger app processors (for ex for tablets) are unobtainable/a pita. The fpga industry resolutely does not give AF at all about toolchains/usability, profiteers off selling add on IP blocks galore (for Gods sake pick a side, are you a hardware or software company.)
