Yes, I think there may be some overlapping. The PA6T has been used in aerospace/defense field primarily, and Freescale says the QorIQ P5 is intended for control plane, industrial robot, aerospace/defense and network storage applications. That said, we know that one of the main reasons for the aerospace/defense industry to pick the PA6T has been its AltiVec capability. As the QorIQ P5 lacks any kind of SIMD capability I think that this industry will mostly
skip the P5 and wait for the AltiVec-enabled T5 to emerge.
