Some of todays fpga:s (developer environments) have built in support for designing embedded processors. The problem is that they are quite expensive. If a microcomputer can make a resonable good implementation then I probably go for that. But it's hard to know if it will run good enough whithout putting to much time on optimization. After all they are not that fast. Anyone know how much memory is needed for an quite good ai?
