Great one, Thanks!
The C6727 is a frighteningly powerful chip. At 300 MHz, you get 2400 MIPS/1800 MFLOPS.

1.8 GigaFLOPS!?!?!? 1.8 GigaFLOPS!!?!!?!

Just for a little skewed perspective, the Original Cray I supercomputers were rated at 166 MFLOPS.
The Eval board is $2K from Lyrtech but it comes with 8 channels of 192K 24bit A/D/A! :icon_twisted:
That's pretty incredible. A person could do some seriously rad DSP with a 1.8 GFLOP chip at a very fast sample rate. You could even do it in C and not worry about "wasted" instructions. 24 bits I once figured is about at the thermal noise floor assuming a 5V reference. You would probably be quite accurately sampling analog noise. I would have a really hard time believing somebody that thought 24 bit at 192k sounded "digital".
Get a whole bunch of RAM and you would have an incredible FX processor platform. It's all just a simple matter of programming.
P.S.
FLOPS, for you who are not familiar with DSP, means FLoating point Operations Per Second

Here's a much more "in depth" PDF than the one posted at the start of the thread. :)
