Note the target pricing quoted near the end of the press release: "Samples of AppliedMicro's APM86491 will be available in the third quarter and high-volume production pricing is under $20. "
Here is another opportunity for a good next-generation Sam460ex. The price is certainly right to help bring out a low-cost entry-level board.
