I dont think XMOS CPUs are in any way targeted at
general purpose
computing, more at the FPGA/DSP/real time embedded control space...
If you just need DSP/embedded control, then why bother with the
transputer-like features? Those are what make it distinct from other,
more established DSP products that already have market share. That means
they need to come up with some use case where low latecy, high bandwidth
core-to-core IO is a requirement. Are there any?
