Dave, 30,000.00 dollars, holy cow.
Here's the cost for the SHARC processors......
"Per-unit pricing in quantities of 10,000 units for the ADSP-21267 is $9.95, for the ADSP-21266 is $14.95, for the ADSP-21365 is $19.95, and for the ADSP-21364 is $24.95."
Although, from specs alone the SHARC's are very impressive processors and they may very well be the better of the two.
For comparisons sake, 50,000 Motorola 56367's are sold at about $15.00 each.
Sonny, of the three you listed, I only have experience with the Classe. It is a fine product and an excellent performer but...I have only heard the same for CAL and Theta. I am in complete agreement with the previous statements. The sum and implementation of the complimentary circuitry/parts is probably more important than the processor in and of itself.
