I have always respected Zilog as the Z80 was the first microprocessor that I got to learn. Zilog has been quite actively working in the embedded domain for a long time. For example, the eZ80 was one of the first few microprocessors to offer a hardware TCP/IP stack.
32 bit Floating Point for Micro Controllers
MicroMegacorp have created an FPU that comes in two versions an 8-pin DIP and an 18-pin DIP package. They can be connected via an I²C or SPI interface with virtually any micro controller that supports either of these interfaces.
Parallax’s Propeller Cogs
A very innovative design indeed. Eight 32-bit processors on a single chip offering 160MIPS of aggregate processing power.
