Well that's far too much money for me to spend, but I am excited to see it.

Can anyone comment on whether or not ARMv8 is beneficial in embedded environments with limited memory? Will we eventually see self-contained ARMv8 microcontrollers?

ARMv8 is generally faster than ARMv7 although it depends on the program.

why do you want a 64 bit microcontroller?

[Gracana]

I don't necessarily, I'm just curious if there's anything in the architecture that would benefit applications where 64 bit addressing isn't a requirement.

Well its a clean new design basically the first classic new RISC design for a while, but 64 bit instructions are going to take up more space generally so it is unlikely anyone will make a microcontroller - 32 bit microcontrollers are still pretty new...
