A recent hackachat with the Parallax team provided me with some interesting "data points" :-)

@Chip Gracey  sent me a large file containing the synthesis report of his latest creation, the Propeller 2, and I did some reverse engineering :-)

For example I extracted the different types of gates and it's very interesting :

• The x suffix followed by a number indicates the strength of the gate, depending on the load to drive (wires and gates).
• some gates have up to 4 inputs, which helps a lot with high fanout/fanin depth
• the first prototype exceeded 300MHz at 180nm with 24 gates in the critical datapath :-O
