Hi Georgi,

You can go now to ADI's web site, and at bottom right corner you will
find a picture of TigerSHARC processor and the advertisement "From
$34.95 to 4 GMACs, 24 Mbits and 5 Gbytes I/O". Clicking on it, you go
to a page that contain the text "Per-unit pricing for the ADSP-TS201,
ADSP-TS202 and ADSP-TS203 in 10,000 units at 500 MHz is $299, $149 and
$34.95 respectively."
That space at the bottom right corner is shared whith other ADI's
advertisements, so you probably must reload the page until you get the
TigerSHARC one.

So, maybe, we must say them to drop that advertisement!!!

One year ago, when I saw that advertisement, I started studying the
manuals, downloaded the VisualDSP, and recoded some routines for
performance testing. I really like the ADI's DSPs. I've been using the
SHARC and 21xx families for a long time. But now we have a new product
that needs a new and faster DSP, and the TigerSHARC seemed to be the
perfect fit. But $47 is not $35, and $61 is also far from what I was
expecting for 100 units (our projected initial consume will lie
between 100 and 1000 units/year). I had a lot of work to persuade
people here of using the TigerSHARC and now I'm not in very
confortable position.
Maybe I've made a mistake of trusting an early advertisement, but that
"lie" is still at ADI's web site.
