I like the idea, but I don't believe you carried it far enough. We need
to compare (a) is the chip available at ANY price, (b) is it available
in a SYSTEM at any price, (c) what is the cheapest system currently
available using the chip?

I don't want to design my own system and have a one of a kind. I want
to select from the best available systems the one which best fits my
needs.
