    No, just one.

    Yes, probably. We'll see what the price tag for the P5010 is going to be.

    I wonder how the price of the P5010 will compare to the one of the eight-core P4080, which Freescale sell currently for as much as 380 USD.

    Yes, that's sad. If it would implement Power ISA 2.06's VSX at least...

    Yes, reasonable choice. But that train left the station, I fear.

    Do you mean the LSI Axxia? After all, the IBM PPC476 ist just a core while the P5010 is a complete SoC CPU. If yes, I think the dual-core P5020 to be a better alternative to the dual or quad-core Axxia because the P5010 is only single-core.
