This is great. I've been so snarled up in things I never got around to making my board I bought as a pre-order go. Was about to actually start putzing with it. (Yeah, yeah. You try dealing with a series serious setbacks in your life...)
Heard mixed stories about the Epiphany III- some good, some not so much so. Something about performance from core-to-core not being as good as it should be. I'm suspecting that it's not "bad" but someone tried things that were best saved for the Epiphany-V design.
Now, the biggest question here is how much are they going to be charging for boards with that beast on them?
I'm suspecting a sweet spot is $400-800 for this one. Thing is...the magic number for getting people interested is $100-ish. I can hope he'd lean that price down to $400-ish for this one. It'd probably sell, especially if you could do silly stupid things like real-time raytracing and the like with it. Too much and there'll only be hardware junkies like myself even possibly interested- so we can hope.
