The article includes TI's latest roadmap for this new MSP430F5xx family. The low power
specs on this are pretty impressive.

Looks like TI had to anounce something given that the MCF51xx are
already
on the market... It is really nice to have a number of good choices,
TI is (or
likely will be, if we talk their new 5xx series) definitely one of
them.

 Thanks for the post and the article.

Wonder if it included all the RAM on, prices seem suspiciously low
compared to other MSP430's, but i'm not complaining.
