The octavo chip is a part of a much larger change going in the chip world: the rise of SIP integration, which greatly reduced The barriers and costs of integrating chip sized systems , thus opening the field for new innovations and actors.

One interesting result from this is the pic32mz-da chip , a mcu with Rich peripherals , 2D gpu and 32MB Of Dram, all for $7.5/10k , and I believe this is just the beginning.

So basically, a full computer, inc. possibility of Linux and high level languages and libraries, at a price of an mcu.
