Very excited for this. Global Foundries 22nm. We're finally all making the Cire M4->M33 jump. This feels like it's going to be the new baseline for the next like half-decade.
I recently have picked up some Silicon Labs boards which have been very nice too. I'd love someday to better comparative characterize their power consumption.
Both companies seem to be really shifting into gear on the software front to make the chips far more productizable. SiLabs is getting into Zephyr IoT. They have a huge Thread/Matter sdk they push back upstream from. Nordic has like two engineers who have just been on fire making bleeding edge BT possible on Zephyr which is gripping-my-seat great to get to witness.
It's so excellent to see companies that want to sell chips. It feels like bigger app processors (for ex for tablets) are unobtainable/a pita. The fpga industry resolutely does not give AF at all about toolchains/usability, profiteers off selling add on IP blocks galore (for Gods sake pick a side, are you a hardware or software company.)
