I let this one go through, as it may be of interest to people in the
group.
There is however, a very big difference between a $7 MCU and some free
development tools/OS and a finished board ready for sale, together
with the long term supply and stocking...
If you need more performance there's the TS-7800, but for most people
the TS-7xxx family is fast enough.
