EDN - The 35th annual microprocessor directory - no Propeller?

Hi,

Im' both disappointed and very surprised to see that the propeller processor is NOT listed in the EDN magazine's 35th microprocessor annual directory!!

WHY ON EARTH???

Is the Propeller·just a hobby processor - or what? Doesn't the industry consider it serious enough to get it at least·listed, just as an oddity?

The propeller would deserve all attention it can get! Being non-existent in such a list is not good at all...

Any comments from Parallax?

    XMOS, Intellasys and Tilera are included. The Propeller is probably perceived as a hobbyist device.

    EDN's annual microprocessor directory is a mere shadow of what it used to be, virtually to the point of irrelevancy. I don't know why they still bother; and, frankly, I wouldn't pay it much mind.

    Yes, they used to have an in-depth analysis of each product, which was much more useful than just summarising manufacturers' marketing blurb.

    It is still disappointing that the Propeller isn't listed. Unfortunately the Propeller is not getting the exposure that it deserves.

    And, might I say from what I've seen, this forum is also the best (despite an unsatifactory index/search) smile.gif

    @Paul: How about putting the html version of the Excel file thread index published a number of days ago on here ?

    I just did a search on EDN, and they have never published anything on the Propeller. It has had a couple of brief mentions in Electronic Design and it's also been mentioned on embedded.com.
