A CALIFORNIAN FABLESS FIRM claimed that it has introduced a family of software configurable processors which can be optimised using C/C++ code, embedded directly in the semiconductors.

I've heard about this from a few places, but with the kind of neatness that suggests a canned PR job. If it's true, I very much look forward to seeing their chips. Does anyone have any decent sources of information about Stretch?

Thank you.
 
It was on slashdot a couple days ago.

Joining FPGAs with processors is not particularly revolutionary - they aren't the first to do it. I'd really like to see how it compares to SOCs like the AMD Au1550 at encryption, and the other Alchemy SOCs at each task. They did benchmark against the Au1100, but that's a general purpose CPU.

I'd also like to see their power consumption - I haven't found numbers anywhere.
