The chip combines an existing RISC (reduced instruction set computing) architecture with a large reconfigurable area of programmable logic called the Instruction Set Extension Fabric, ISEF. The company's own C/C++ compiler automatically spots areas in a program that require intensive computation and creates new instructions for the processor to handle those tasks.

That sounds pretty $@#$@#$@#$@# cool, and maybe im just dreaming, but at these costs, who knows, maybe we could put some video recognition on our robots...
That has to be the weirdest thing I've ever heard of.
